Emerging into Color

I was painting in more muted tones this winter, perhaps in response to an urge to hibernate.  The ground has been covered with snow and the weather unremittantly cold.  One day this week the schools were closed because of the high winds and below zero wind-chill factor.  Snow blown across the roads created a white fog that was impossible to see through in places. 

My response to winter hasn't always been to paint in muted, darker colors.  One winter I created a series of "white" paintings, in which I began with a lot of white paint, adding other tints to shape it.  Two of my favorites were Don't Let It Get Away From You and Through A Glass Brightly.

Recently I've been moving into more color, getting in the mood for Spring:
