Snowy Days

Snowed for last week, but I feel the spring is coming to my door:
Every morning I go out to the entrance at my apartment building to pick up news paper and it had been still dark at 6:30 in the morning in the recent months, but it seems to me the sun appears earlier in the last 2 days. (^^)smile
I have finished 2 small paintings of which I took the images form winter sceneries- icy blue sky, trees in the cold wind, sparkling surface of water.
I used my favorite pallet for the paintings -subtle and neutral colors. They interact on each level of layers and change the mood of surface just with a drop of paint.
I put the title "Winter Days". Maybe too ordinary?? Help me if you come up with a better title.
Hope to paint two more in the same size so that the four small paintings makes a bigger square picture.
先週は雪が降りましたが、もうすぐ春なのでしょうか?毎朝新聞を取りにマンションの玄関に行くのですが、朝6時半だとまだ暗かったのにここ2日ほどは日が出るのが早い気がします(^^)
冬の景色からイメージを取った小品を2点仕上げました。凍えるような冬の空、冷たい風の中で揺れる木、光る水面などがテーマです。私は中間色が好きで良く使います。
題名は「冬の日」としましたが、ありふれているような。。。(良いタイトルあったら教えてください)
あと同じサイズを2点制作予定です。
