Dust of Snow by Martin Webster

I painted this a decade or so ago in acrylic. I think it was my first piece using this medium. It’s based on an exercise from Alwyn Crawshaw‘s Acrylic Painting Course. The image quality isn’t that great; I used my mobile phone. The picture now hangs on the bedroom wall.

Dust of Snow by Robert Frost

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
