This is bordering on the abstract, going with blocks of color; 

I know this scene well, the view from my home

with the snow field of my yard in the foreground.

The surprise was the well placed bit of yellow; I used no yellow.

I thinned the cadmium orange at the lowest part

and let the white paper shine through, the coming sun.
