Four Seasons Complete

Four Seasons is now complete and ready for the exhibition. They were really a challenge to create. The biggest problem to solve was how to get them to read well together as a whole. I ended up warming up winter by bringing some of the creams, yellows and pinks from the other paintings into the whites.

Apart from the obvious change in the weather I wanted to create a feeling for each scene. It sounds funny but the watching the weather out there is like watching a movie. Although the central characters are the same - evergreens, maples, pond, cat tails, grass... every few moments the lighting and colors all make things look so different.
