Frozen Creek Oil on panel, 10x8 |
This wintry landscape is close to home, and a place I have visited many times. I have never attempted a completely frozen body of water, and this was my chance! Using my brushes first, I blocked in all the values, finally finishing with my palette knife. I forget how much I like the knife, until I pick it back up! I also went back to prussian blue for this one, lending a moodiness to the cold. I rarely paint over a previous painting, but I did on this one. Under this frozen creek is a lackluster spring lake scene from years ago. Since I am running out of panels - and snowed in - I thought, why not? Painting number 401 in as many days :)
This is so beautiful and reminds me of winters in Germany.
