Gray Winter

16x20 oil on canvas

So, this is an example of learning to stay loose and free in painting.  (My bugga-boo)  This canvas had a painting of a woman that I worked on and worked on and worked on.  I just couldn't get her.  There was some nice texture on the canvas, so one day I just mixed a bunch of grays and went after it with a whole new scene.  From a portrait of sorts to a landscape!  Why not.  It was so much fun and the texture and underpainting added richness and depth to this snow scene.   This view was from a bridge in Garmisch, Germany.
