Perhaps it's only out of nostalgia, but that plainspoken, expository form of picture-making feels very poignant for me, plus snow is always fun to portray. This piece felt effortless to work on, like a one-day vacation: it's sweet, but tomorrow you're back in reality wondering, how did that happen?"
