Holiday Scenes - watercolor winter landscapes by Gretchen Kelly

Both are 4.5x6.5 painted in watercolors 

I painted these miniatures for Christmas cards this year. I was inspired by some plein air paintings I did in the Adirondacks this past summer. I love this iconic scene with the reflections in the lakes, the moon and the stars, the shapes of the trees and never-ending color cominations that I can dream up and somehow they all work.

Merry Christmas! and Peace in the New Year.
