Working from a Plein Air Sketch

Here's the original painting I posted a while ago that I did on a snow-flurried morning. I felt it had some possibilities for making a larger painting and I ended up making a 16 x 20 painting using the sketch and photos I took at the scene. The color is changed somewhat from the original plein air.  I wanted to get a more blue look to the scene. It's a challenge to make a larger painting from a plein air sketch, and a skill that I am trying to learn.

 

 

This is the original plein air painting Snowy Fields, 8 x 10.

 

Here's the larger painting, Snow in the Air, 16 x 20.
