WINTER SUNSHINE oil on panel, 4"x6"

Today is a beautiful day! It started out with a thick fog, but it lifted pretty fast. It lifted before I could get outside to paint, and there was just a little fog left in the distance when I painted this en plein air. I wanted to capture the cold, crisp morning with the warm sunshine.

Beautifully serene! Love the way the leaves on the rust tree on the left are sort of raked across. Great effect!

very nice, it's got a very airy and light effect from your brushwork....cool light rather than warm is a nice effect as well... Mary
