Marshmallow World Winter Oil Painting Impressionism Heidi Malott

sold
"Marshmallow World"
6"x6" oil on primed art board

"It's a marshmallow world in winter
when the snow comes to cover the ground
it's the time for play, its a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round"

ha ha, no I haven't been painting in a poorly ventilated room...this song was on while I was painting today and I found it quite fitting for this scene.  The name of the song is "It's a Marshmallow World" by the one and only Dean Martin from "Dino's Christmas"

I really wish this painting could be seen in person.  The photo does not pick up the softness and subtle color very well.

Winter Sunrise Landscape Oil Painting Heidi Malott

Rural Landscape Winter Snow Daily Oil Painting

 

"A Little Snow"
6x6" oil on primed masonite

A cold windy day in the countryside.  The fields are barren with the exception of dry grasses.  A nice golden color against the snow.

First Snow Winter Impressionism Daily Painting

"First Snow"
6x6" oil on primed masonite

I could not wait to paint the first snow in the woods.  The sun was setting.  The few lingering leaves of fall "popped" off the blue shadows on the snow.  This contemprary impression has an abstract feel to it in my efforts to capture the moment without getting too detailed in all the trees.

I encourage you to notice how the painting becomes clearer as you step back a few feet rather than closely from your monitor.  

Winter Fields Snowy Impressionism 8X8 Oil Painting

"Winter Patchwork"  8x8" oil on primed masonite

Happy New Year!  I hope your holidays were full of joy and promise of the new year.  I am looking forward to painting and sharing them with you here and on Dailypainters.com!

Today's little painting is "big".  I am amazed at how much larger these 8" squares look next to my usual 6x6" daily pieces.  The fields this time of year remind me of patchwork quilts.  Patches of snow and dried remains of  summer's harvest.

I would also like to share with you a fun blog I enjoy visiting called  "Darby's and Pumpkin's Daily"   The creator of this blog has invested in a few of my paintings recently and was so kind to post on her blog the coolest and creative way of displaying a small daily painting.  This delightful idea would work for any small painting and it is very economical.  My daughter and I love to visit her blog for the great pics and fun antics of Darby and Pumpkin.  Thank you Melissa, for the shout out and wonderful idea.

"Winter Slumber" Snowy Landscape Painting

"Winter Slumber"  The soft light from the overcast winter sky seem to "even the playing field" when it came to the values of lights and darks in this landscape.
