Snowstorms

More work with the masters. I have always admired the work of Francisco Goya and as I scanned through his famous images, one struck me as almost looking like it was set in the Southwest.

I decided to do my own, overt Southwestern rendering of the same composition (albeit a much smaller format and a much more naive style). Here is my painting using the Goya reference material.
