Stratus Blue Roses

 

 

Painted for DPW's Escape the Snow challenge.

Let me explain this painting and how it fits the challenge theme.

First of all, I like snow and don't find I need to escape it.

Second, when I can't paint plein air (outdoors) I paint still lifes indoors.

Third, painting itself is my way of getting away from it all.

I find myself caught up in what I am doing

and that in itself is a form of escape, so to speak.

So my 'escape' was to do this painting.
