Holiday Greetings From The Mountains Of New Mexico


"First Snow"
by
Jack Providenti


It is common to have an early snowfall in the mountains of New Mexico. This one stayed around for 5 days. Here it is early morning before there are footprints of man or beast. Fresh snow has the quality of soft shadows which create wonderful shadows. In painting it, I get a thrill from laying down the pure whites, as though I'm playing with snow.

Cards are six for $15.00. Choose six of a kind, or create a set of six by choosing two each from an assortment....to see all the cards, click here

What is the difference between a note card and a greeting card?

December Snow
by
Jack Providenti



Usually a note card is approximately 3 x 5 inches , and has some sort of image on the front of it. A greeting card, on the other hand is larger...at least 5 x 7 inches usually, and often has a message inside. What's interesting is that they each conjure up a different idea. A note card means a personal message on an attractive small card, and a greeting card means it's your birthday, or Christmas, or graduation etc..

So, for the Holiday Season I'm calling my cards "greeting cards"!

These greeting cards are 5 x 7 inches. Inside is blank..ready for your holiday wishes. They come in a clear plastic box and are 6 for $15.00. You can also combine with my other note cards and create your own 6 pack. Just click HERE

"A White Out...Almost"

I Painted most of this during an incredible snow storm up here the mountains of the Cibola National Forest ( New Mexico) where it's 8500 ft above sea level. The work was done inside a camper that I converted into an art studio.....I was really "in" the storm! I was dressed for the outdoors while doing it, as the old camper did not provide adequate heat. I like to think that the sense of the experience is communicated in the painting.

Note cards of this painting are 5 x 7 inches, suitable for framing, and can be purchased right now. They are 6 for $15.00 and come in a clear plastic box. You can also mix and match this with other note cards to create your own six pack.....just click here

It is pretty wintry ( wintry & and pretty) up here where I live on Davenport Mountain, New Mexico. I've done many paintings of snow scenes recently....I'd rather paint it than shovel it! Here is an impression of drifts, with a sort of mysterious forest as a backdrop.

Note cards of this painting are 5 x 7 inches, and look great in a frame. They can be purchased right now. They are 6 for $15.00 and come in a clear plastic box. You can also mix & match cards to make your own 6 pack. Just click here

Snow Soldiers"
by
Jack Providenti



The trees at the edge of the forest seemed to be marching in the snow. While living here in the mountains of the Cibola National Forest, one begins to see things differently...especially when it snows frequently, leaving a three foot base of the white stuff. The world here gets very bright.


Note cards of this painting are 5 x 7 inches. This one looks great in a frame! There are 6 cards and envelopes in a clear plastic box for $15.00 and can be purchased right now. You can also create your own six pack (3 designs, 2 of each)....Just click here

"Doorway To The Woods" Note Card

Say "Happy Holidays" with a personal note card!
"Doorway To The Woods"

Jack Providenti

The mountain forest is enchanting. I couldn't resist working this so as to have it appear as though there is a doorway in the woods. There was actually a slight reddish glow at the foot of the wooded area, and I highlighted that ( artistic license!).

December in the Cibola National Forest, New Mexico and it is definitely winter. While growing up in the city, I didn't get to see a lot of clean, white snow. I suppose I am making up for it now...the light and shadow after a fresh snowfall are just amazing.
