Melting Snow in Quaker Town Park, Denton, Texas. January 2025
As a child in Ohio, I remember hours of play in the snow. All the neighborhood kids would come sledding together, or ice skate on Briar Lake. Snowball arsenals forts and snowmen were a regular part of my winter journey as a child. In Texas, snow is a rare occurrence. If it does happen to snow, it usually does not last for days, but in January, we had what I would call delightful snow here. I loved its crunch as I walked in it and how it stuck together. I took the reference photo for this painting during a winter bike ride through the park near my home and loved the idea of capturing the vivid colors of the grass and trees with the cool blues of the snow and water.
It’s for sale in the shop for $350.00 and on display in our VRBO space upstairs.
