My Corner of New Hanover
Snow Drift
Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 3 March 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
...the top of a small snow drift at the south end of Egypt Meadow Lake in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. I liked the interplay of light and shadow on the fresh powder.
"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Wow, great detail. You can almost see each icy crystal in the shaded texture. And that little branch sticking itself into the mix is perfect.

Great texture in the snow. Love the shadows. The branch sets it off perfectly.

There is something very wonderful about the soft shadows on the curves of the snowy ground. Like gentle waves on the ocean.
