Snow Hills
Watercolor

I love the white of the snow on the land in winter. It is beautiful, airy, and peaceful.

Winter On Gillham Road

This winter scene is in the greater Kansas City area, about a block or two from the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art. I traveled this road many times when I was a teacher at the Kansas City Art Institute.
