#2610 "Jim Day Rapids Snow Shadows"

#2610 "Jim Day Rapids Snow Shadows" 16x20 inches

The snow of the previous winter storm gave a fresh white blanket to the ice of the outflow of Jim Day Rapids. There were just a few animal tracks in the fresh snow the day after the storm. The early morning sun cast long shadows across the ice.

It was very pretty and I was resolved to capture the feeling in oil. This was looking across the frozen exit of Jim Day Rapids toward the opposite shore. I included the tree stump that we have admired for a decade. During the winter, the snow outlines the stump and it looks a lot like a Scottish Terrier. 

I had painted this before in #2074 "Spring Snow Long Reach".
