Epic Winter and Landscape

My son-in-law works for Epic (medical software) in Wisconsin, so we have to do some traveling occasionally to see my daughter and three of our grandchildren there. We made the trip again last weekend, and while we were there we had (another) tour of the Epic campus. January in Wisconsin means WINTER, in ways that Oregon just can't compete. While walking through the buildings I sometimes stopped to take reference photos out of their massive windows. The snow covered fields and hillsides looked amazing (as long as I was inside where it was warm.)! Here are two paintings based on those photos, looking in different directions from the same window.
