Snow Trucks, 30 x 40, oil on linen, by Ron Donoughe

This is something a little different for me. I was drawn to this scene by the strong shadow family of blue and orange – a complementary combination. The light family was also the background so it made for an interesting juxtaposition of light and dark. The location is near my studio in an industrial/warehouse area.

Wow, this is really cool. I never thought snow on some old trucks would be so interesting. I like how you created cool shadows in the foreground and a sun lit background. Nice job!

Nice that you can still find beauty in the snow!

You can find beauty anywhere, even in a row of snow trucks. Thanks for taking time out to paint it and showing it to us.
