I love this painting spot. I've painted here numerous times. I've painted it in the Spring, Summer, Fall, and now winter. Since I got all the seasons now, I'll have to paint it at different times of the day. Maybe a sunset will be next.

I was very interested in painting this Tree Branch covered in snow. Studying this subject I found that there's so much color bouncing around. Reflective light bouncing from the light off the ground. Greens reflecting from underneath the branches above. Blues from the sky. There's so much you don't always stop and take note of.

Winter Light

This is probably the last painting for 2010. Here's to 2011 being a great year for art!

This is one from yesterday, done on location. I walked out to the spot, got set up, and found out that I had forgotten my brushes! However, I had my trusty palette knife. So I decided to paint it all with a palette knife.

Winter Home

It's 2010 and my first post of the new year. I'm looking forward to posting much more work on my blog this year. This was the last painting I finished in '09.
