Description
A digital impressionist painting of overlapping seasons in the Oklahoma countryside with early winter snow on the ground and fall colors still lingering on the tree leaves in pretty shades of orange.
Sometimes in Oklahoma seasons don't behave themselves and come in the order expected, and that is what happened in the year I took the photo that I made this painting from. It was November 2011 and we had just experienced the most spectacular fall colors I can remember when before the trees had a chance to completely shed their leaves, there came an early snow. The contrast of the bare cottonwoods and the orange oaks and red bud trees with the white blanket on the the ground made for a scene I wanted to preserve for all time. I thought it looked best in a square format.
