Watercolor Study "Twilight in Winter"

This is the second study piece in keeping with my recent and growing interest in the colors and shapes of winter.
I want it to stress and accent the abstractions of shape and color inherent in nature, while retaining naturalism and  loose representation, and I am fairly satisfied with how this piece turned out in that regard. 
Taken from a photo my sister took with her phone.

Watercolor Study "Raven Glacier"

I've been fascinated lately with the colors of winter
Plans for large-scale oils of this or similar scenes
Study of this image with more to follow
This was taken from a photo I shot from the Crow Pass trail, around 3000 feet
