I moved to Montana from Los Angeles 8 months ago and have spent my first winter in over a decade paintingwhat my landscape might look like when it takes off its thick sweater of snow. The softened shapes, mutedpalette, and absolute stillness of the winter create a hypothetical landscape that changes with every storm.My time outside is filled with the possibility of color and I approached these canvases as if they were thesnow-draped mountains outside my window.-matthew chambers
