Despite some beautiful snowfalls this winter, I haven't had a chance to go outside to some plein air until today. I went to nearby Tenhave Woods on this sunny and cool day, while we still have snow on the ground. I ended up painting this trail near the Goodwin/Swamp crossroads. I liked the Z composition made from the trail with footsteps, as well as the diagonal shadows of the trees on the snow.

Here's the finished painting along with the scene behind it.

Here's the painting copped in. This is an 11" x 14" oil on panel painted solely with a painting knife.

Here's hoping it doesn't take a couple months until my next plein air!
