    After the Snowfall

    Watercolor meets cut-paper collage. Soft, textured watercolors are layered with cut-paper silhouettes to give each animal and scene crisp definition. The technique adds depth and a handmade charm. Deep black night skies create a dramatic backdrop that makes vibrant hues—icy blues, warm earth tones, and rainbow-like foliage—pop strikingly against the snow. Rich washes of color highlight the wildlife in imaginative yet realistic detail.
