"January" Study

A cold January reminded me of this study I did for a painting I finished last year, entitled "January". The study has always had a special place for me -- I have always liked it much better than the finished product -- and it was my joy to gift it to a close friend this past holiday season.

Still too cold!

Still cold here in Florida -- but it has me looking at the few winter scene that I have done in years past -- the cold here is not as inspirational as the snow up north!

Solitude

"Solitude" Watercolor Painting by Krys Pettit

This recently completed painting was inspired by a scene in near Owls Head, Maine some years ago -- although I saw it during the day it led me to wonder about it at night -- how it might look on a chilly summer night in the full moon -- and who would be there to witness it?

Cold

It's too cold here in Central Florida -- we had sleet, ice and snow in some places yesterday. Not living in a wintry climate I tend not to paint too many winter scenes -- this one happens to be something I did many years ago from am memory of those fantastic sunsets in Upstate New York!
