Brushstrokes January
Happy New Year. Well we have had a few cold days and a few very snowy Days. I love the landscape implications and went off to capture the mood and beauty of the snow and trees which we will be working on in January.
On this day it was the coldest and hoar frost was covering most of the trees. Here is the gorgeous view. I set out to walk around the lake at -23 and was only out for a few minutes but sure froze my fingers. I wasn't alone as there was another couple returning to the parking lot having taken photographs. I chose this sunset time to capture the light for the background and the diminishing colour of the snow on the trees.
Heres the one my grandson finished his very snowy tree and he added the green highlights Great artwork good insight into making it your own vision
