Les Sorbiers, also known as the rowan trees in English, were abundantly decorating our alpine neighborhood with their unusually bright red berries this season. Here, I tried to paint the tree covered with a veil of snow, from a low vantage point. I find the snow a difficult subject in general, and it turned out to be tricky to convey its form especially against the pale background. It definitely needs more experimenting with the palette.

Tea Room
With the frosty windchill in the city lately, a tea room like this seems so inviting, for a hot cup of tea and a lemon tart.

L'Arve
This river, sourced from the massif of Mont Blanc, flows right in front of our apartment. Today, it's deliciously powdered with the morning snowflakes.
