Thank you very much! These two paintings were each done from single frames of videos I shot out in Alta, Utah. These two snowcats, on different days, passed me while I was cross country skiing. Lots of times I use snowcat photos then fabricate the surroundings--or base them on other photos of places I have been. Sometimes I use other people's photos with permission.
The things I do remember and try to get into the paintings is the atmospheric feeling of the day the photo was shot. The DMC1200 was seen on a overcast day with flurries falling. That part I caught better on the first painting I did of this scene (it's on my website). The Imp passed me on a nice crisp sunny day.
Those two snowcat videos are among my favorites. They're on YouTube.
I'm always looking for snowcat photos for potential paintings.
Thanks again!
