Summer Scenes

Two studies looking at the effects  light

on the landscape.

This first is the beginning of day.

The foreground in shadow 

and the focal point

is the sun-kissed treeline 

in the background. 

Field in Shadow - Leslie Snider

This second pastel is midday.

Overcast 

and the humid air 

softening colours and edges.

Bonnechere 2018 - Leslie Snider

Similar colour schemes but used to 

different effect.

Calm Before the Storm

The weather still isn't cooperating for outside work....

and another snow storm in the forecast....

so I'm working from my photos.

This quiet study is from a wet spring

we spent at Presquile Provincial Park.

Up early in the moisture laden air..

colour was muted and the air still.

Path to the Beach - Leslie Snider

And across the field

 I captured this group

 on their morning stroll.
