I started painting this as a tree study, but the painting took on a life of its own as I went along. I painted it in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep, and I have to say it was a great time to paint with no interruptions!
This painting has thick passages of impasto and interesting textures throughout.

It's been a very long winter in many parts of the country and with three weeks left until Spring, it's time to start looking for those daffodils!
Winter is a time for reflection, and simple enjoyments, and so as spring slowly approaches us, my hope is to take time to savor some of those moments when winter is displayed in all its quiet stillness and beauty.
I painted this with a quiet palette, using many grays and the coldest blue of all-Prussian blue. It's not a blue that I use often, but for winter scenes, it seems to feel appropriate.
