Winter Fields

Winter Fields, Oil on Canvas Panel, 6" x 6"


This is one of those plein air paintings that is more of an experience than a representation. I will never forget this day. My friend, Lena Thynell, and I started painting on a cold winter afternoon when it started to snow. Not hard at the start, but by the time we finally gave up, I found out why it is not good to have too much snow land in your oil palette. I was trying to paint with oils the consistency of "cottage cheese". I finished this painting back at my studio remembering that day. Plein air is so fun and unpredictable...
