Creek in the Snowy Woods


Another snowfall is nearing as I capture this winter wonderland in oils.  I've recently been playing with multiple mediums, but oh, how good it feels to pick up my oils again.  A few colors on my palette have hardened, so there is palette cleaning in my future. Since I keep my palettes in the freezer, I never know until I'm in the field what needs attention. I could always check first, but I'm always in a hurry to get outside and paint!  The days are so short this time of year, I really do feel limited.  Ever painting what I feel, I've pushed this one a little bluer and darker, as I see the dark clouds moving in from the north.  I haven't used this pochade for a while either, and it needs a little cleaning, too.  This day was absolutely balmy compared to the last few days!  I'm looking forward to fresh snow on the trees tomorrow!  Painting number 5063 in 5063 days.
