First Snow

I was driving back from Pleasant point..The road was rough, and snow everywhere. However, in the far distance, the sun was beginning to set, and I saw all those pretty violet and blue colors! Everything else was grey and white though. I came back home and lit a fire, then I created this painting. I did not want it to reflect the melancholy inside and out. I tried to make it look cheerful. Every body knows that snow is white, but I made it reflect the sky colors, so there will be no sudden hard edges..I wanted it to be simple and the colors to flow smoothly. I hope you like it.
