It snowed quite a lot last night.  Rather reminded me of a painting I did last year that started a rather heated argument about why I painted the snow blue.  I tried to explain that while the SNOW wasn't blue, the shadows were, but to no avail.  He was adamant that I shouldn't have painted it blue and hated the painting.  I sure wish that the people who LIKED the painting would be just as loud in their opinions!!!  I sold the painting, and it has been one of my more popular greeting cards, but I still think about the snow, and hesitate to paint it.  Why do I allow people to cloud my judgement and my own aesthetics?  I think that I will paint green snow next time!  Or YELLOW!  How is that for realism????  HA!
