first major snowfall of the year by summerfield

first major snowfall of the year

and it's only november and it's technically still autumn. it started mid-morning and didn't let up until just now. a heavy cloud covering still hangs over the city. pity the Christmas lights aren't up yet on those evergreens as it would've looked more festive rather than depressing; depressing in the sense that it is a real reminder that winter is upon us and we would have to endure it for the next four five months, along with the unwanted visitor that doesn't want to leave, mr. COVID-19.

i'm thinking tomorrow, i should brave the cold and find some photo opp with this snow thing maybe even just around the building grounds.

today i tried another painting project but it turned out to be an epic fail and i just had to trash it and start over. i'm looking through my photos to see if i can paint any one of my old photos instead of emulating someone else's. but i'm having fun slapping paints on canvas or simply mixing paints -- i feel like an artiste!

well, tomorrow's another day.
Perfect POV for your capture!

You definitely are an artiste! This photograph proves it. A spectacular composition with terrific capture of the lights reflecting off of the snow. I know you get tired of it but I am envious of your weather today.

I think it looks just fine- even without the lights. Snow is always pretty from the inside!

Very pretty but depressing for what is to come.

It looks beautiful with the pops of orange lighting.

I love the perspective on this photo and all the pockets of lights. Very nice.

What floor do you live on? I am pretty scared of height... but the view is nice. Better with snow than only dull barren ground and trees.
If you feel painterly and creative, look up Tracy Verdugo on you tube. ;)

I was in a zoom meeting today with a friend in Toronto and he showed me this snowy scene! We had a dusting of snow about a month ago but nothing since then. Stay warm!

To be sure, you ARE an artiste! Glad you're so enjoying your painting, it's a great creative outlet indeed. And try to enjoy that snow, too ;-D

It may look depressing to you Vikki but I think it looks beautiful. Then again I don't have to live in it :)

very pretty! i like that the lights point downward rather than trying to light up the sky.

I like your POV. I like how the snow reflects light upward underneath objects. I, personally, do not think the trees look depressing at all.

Oh you did get a bit of snow....................we are still green!
Stay warm!
