This painting was meant to be stylized, but the longer I looked at it the longer I did not like the tops of the winter trees or the blue green sky. The sky did not go well with the more violet blue frozen water. This painting got a lighter, more violet blue sky and simplified tree tops. The barn roof was also lightened a tad and the barn made more red, yet still keeping it in the shadow. A few of the bushes and some of the dried vegetation got a tiny bit of attention. The main difference in color between the two is different cameras as I did not touch the snow, the frozen water, tree trunks or anything in the background.

I would still like to see this one black and white again. That was so cool.
That would have been one way to go, but I honestly had forgotten about that!
it's amazing that the background has that much effect on the rest of the shades in the painting. I thought the top painting was a photo until I saw the caption. The bottom version is a great stylized "theme" or "mood" painting, but not at all realistic as is the first one. You have such amazing gifts. thanks
