sunrise on a winter morn by marilynn z. nielson, 12 x 16 oil on board, unframed  $475, or custom quality framed $650

We awoke one morning to discover the ground covered with a heavy snowfall.  We grabbed the camera and headed some 15 miles from home.  We didn’t know exactly where we were headed, but took a dirt road down a ravine into the river bottoms.  The sun was just coming up as we rounded the bend by a stream and I shouted, “Stop the car.”  This painting was the result of what we saw.   I loved the light on the bank and the weight of snow on the foliage.  Winter scenes are my favorite to paint and this sight was a joy to me.  As we looked to the left we saw another beautiful scene, which will probably be the subject of another painting. ~ marilynn
