Serenity is about spatial design. The interval placing of the picturesque birch trees set in a fresh deep snow opens the space. The location of the deer retains the visual open space.

Winter Wonderland opens the viewer's eyes to a tranquil peaceful winter scene. India Ink.

First Snow brings out the image of serenity following a dense snow storm. Snow takes over your world. You can't get out. You can only appreciate its beauty. India Ink.

SECOND PLACE WINNER. Winter Birch is a two-fold winner. The drawing includes the beauty of a fresh deep snow with the undeniable beauty of birch trees. The stream pulls the eye through the birch trees to the back of the drawing. India Ink and watercolor.

Winter Bench depicts the beauty of freshly fallen snow. Silent, clean and undisturbed. The pristine scene interrupted only by the presence of the three blue birds.

I got up early after a deep snow fall to discover winter's beauty. As I pulled into my drive, there in front of me were these beautiful snow laden evergreens which you now see in the drawing.

One of the beauties of a winter snow is to see the bright sun glaring off of the new snow. Everything appears so clean and crisp. That is what I tried to capture with this drawing.

Winter's Wrath portrays a heavy country snow that socks everything and everyone in. Much of what exists is covered with a blanket of deep snow.

Deep Snow represents my return to art after a thirty-four-year hiatus from art. The snow storm took place in Northwestern Pennsylvania in 1987. The 20” snow fall created a strong visual image of the power of nature. India Ink.

Deep Snow II came from the 1987 snow storm that left 20” of light fluffy snow. A beautiful irresistible white setting for the image of the Amish farm. Black on white is perfect for this setting. India Ink.
