Snow on the Hedgeapple Tree

Snow on the Hedgeapple Tree
Oil on Panel, 8x6

I love the twisted forms of old hedgeapple trees - and we have lots of them on the property!  This is Day 4 of the painting challenge - and I actually painted two today.  I used two new italian classico oils by Maimeri.  They are VERY creamy.  They are so creamy, that it was difficult for me to lay other colors into it - for building up the tree bark and the snow layers.  No medium used at all - it would have made these paints too thin.  It is so fun to experiment - and I have 3 colors yet untouched!
