Prairie Snow

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted February 4, 20163,220 views7 comments

We ahd about 8" of snow a couple of days ago and I went out looking for images I could make. I had a couple of things in mind, but was open to what ever caught my attention. This is one that just popped up as I was driving to a location I had in mind. I really like the way it turned out. It has a very painterly feel to me. Please see larger image. Thanks for our comments and critiques.

"painterly": Like a pen and ink drawing. Very nice.

Beautiful winter scene, Richard! The grasses coming up through the snow add nice texture and detail.
