Snow in the Woods

Snow in the Woods
Oil on panel, 14x11

Today the snow rolled in heavy and thick, laying down a fresh blanket on the landscape.  I couldn't start this one until after 7:00 tonight, so I am in the studio.  Hot cocoa praline tart tea and relaxing music in the background set the scene for this project.  I start differently, blocking the whole scene in with my Gamblin grays - before adding any colors. As a result, my layers of paint are so thick and juicy!  I love the moodiness of this - it is just the way it looked today as front moved in.  This is day 11 of the 30 day painting challenge - and this is the latest I have posted yet!
