Winter Haze

This soothing painting was inspired by a location close to my home, but it reminds me of my childhood walking in the snow with my mother. During her high school years, my sister worked evenings in a country club office. Occasionally, she would walk home, and my mother and I would meet her half way. I still remember my mother (no admirer of snow) saying that she loved hearing the snow crunch under her feet. It's a wonderful memory.
