Description
The setting sun cast some pretty long shadows across the field. There are a multitude of colours in the snow with this kind of lighting. I tried to capture them all. This goal reminds me of the September 10, 1978, Harry Chapin song "Flowers Are Red". This painting is all about subtle colour. The snow was still laden on the boughs of the pine trees from the winter storm.
"Flowers Are Red" Story - The song tells the story of a little boy who on the first day of school started drawing pictures of flowers using many different colors. The teacher (sung by Chapin in a falsetto voice) tells him that he should not be coloring because it is not time for art, and in any case, the boy is coloring the flowers all wrong and that he should paint them red and green, "the way they always have been seen." The boy disagrees and continues to color them from his imagination until the teacher punishes him by standing him in a corner. Finally, the now terrified little boy gives in and tells the teacher that "flowers are red, and green leaves are green." When he goes to a different school, a new teacher encourages her students to use all sorts of colors, only to find the student only coloring his flowers red and green; when the new teacher asks the boy why, he meekly responds by quoting his previous teacher�"flowers are red, and green leaves are green."
Snow is not white. The sky is not blue. There are way more colours to do. And even here, I did not do the real world enough colour.
