The Color of Snow - Before Dawn

The Purple Color of Morning.

Here I wanted to paint the purplish light on snow in the blue hour before the sunrise.

It's a blessing when you can look in life for Color. Been watching a lot of 'knight' movies lately, seems people were mostly busy surviving, fighting in the old ages, but of course, these things are of all times. Like poverty, surviving in dry land, etcetera.

It's a blessing painters can look for and keep busy with seeing and painting the beauty of Nature, color and light.

Some ask, don't you freeze, painting in cold weather?

I say it's part of the deal. Only end-results count. A bit of heart-ache, a bit of frostbite :)
