I'm happy with this one. Tried something different and I know some would say taboo but I added the snow on top with white paint. I'm learning that it's often more about suggestion and subtlety than trying to strong-arm photo realism. For the closest pine, I used a #1 brush and some black paint to add a few lines here and there to reinforce the outline of the snow and branches. This added a sense of detail that really made it pop. I'm learning that foreground objects are darker and have more detail while stuff in the distance fades to an ambiguous blue-gray blob. I also flicked white paint off my brush to create the look of snowflakes falling.
