Middlebury Snow Bowl Feb 27, 2017
I take a lot of risks in art.
A visit to the Middlebury College Snow Bowl last week had me thinking maybe I should hit the slopes and join the fun.
Then I remembered… I can’t ski.
It’s probably tough to paint with broken limbs.
Better stick to what I know.

I learned to ski at Middlebury. Many good memories
Thanks Gary!
The painting is vibrant! Your comments about skiing are priceless
Thank you Deanie!
You’ve taken elements from two rather unremarkable photos and with a wonderful eye for composition and bold but nonetheless realistic color choices, and ended up with a most pleasing painting filled with the brilliance and joy of a great day on the ski slopes!
Thank you very much Brian! I do love composition, it’s like playing with blocks when I was a kid.
Love the painting and the pop of red color.
Thank you Carroll!
Love the painting of the ski area and the pop of red color!
And again!
A bright, beautiful winter day! I feel like skiing! Very nice!
Thank you Susan!
I love everything about this. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks Melodie!
I like the blue sky in the background it makes the colors come alive
The day was incredibly blue, sky and shadows. Thanks Betty!
About 16 years ago I mastered the bunny trail at Pico so I thought I would try the Snow bowl next. No way. Gave awY my skiis and took up golf. Much safer.
We are two of a kind Pat, I skipped golf though and found painting.
looooooooooooooooooooove your paintings….
Thanks June!
Such a cheerful painting. I am reading “The War of Art”. Very good. Don’t remember who recommended it to me (maybe you). If you haven’t read it, it is worth the time and effort!
Thanks Christine, it probably was me. I recommend it at least several times a week to anyone who will listen. Glad you did!
Truly NICE! Did not receive your art this week..so I went to the site (well, not Middlebury…..: ) …. and found the treasure. Cynthia
You are still on the mailing list Cynthia, not sure why it’s not getting through. Thanks!
Peter, So glad that you decided to take a chance and painted the Middlebury Snow Bowl!⛷. There are great memories of watching my children ski race with the Pico Ski Team. My favorite area and very cozy Thank you for sharing your amazing work!! ❤️⛷
Thanks Sharon, my pleasure!
Hallo Peter, normally the Middlebury College Snow Bowl should buy your painting as an advertising. I’m waiting for the next fresh painting.
Thanks Doris! I think all my paintings eventually find their rightful home. I see it happen over and over again.
Hello Peter! Thank you for allowing me to join this wonderful group. As I am from and still live in the South (Stone Mountain, GA) your paintings allow me to visit vicariously to what looks to be wonderful country! I just love them! This one looks as if I could just walk right up! Thank you again! Linda
