January 11, 2014 Happy New Year! We had such a fun time cross country skiing recently at Turpin Meadows Ranch near Jackson Hole. I was explaining to someone that before we moved to Jackson I never liked paintings of winter – too cold and dreary. But Jackson Hole definitely changed my mind and has inspired lots of winter paintings from my studio. 🙂

![MORNING SUN OVER TARGHEE 10 x 11 watercolor and gouache on gold shikishi This painting of a snowy sunrise was inspired by a photo sent to me by a client. It can really look like this impressionistic painting sometimes!](http://kaystratman.paintscapewordpresshost.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/PB180003-300x266.jpg)
