oil on canvas, 24 x 24″, Dec 6 2020
Too cold to continue with this… sunny morning, frosty too, thick fog across the plain. These twisted alders, I love them. Also I noticed a skinny holly in amongst them! Woodbine too. Lots of mossy fallen trunks in the foreground.

Beautiful.
The tan pinks and browns and blues make this elegant!
Nice Job Sir!
ROCK ON.
OMG I thought I deleted your comment for a moment there… I touched a wrong button on the keyboard and suddenly I couldn’t find your comment!!! Found it again eventually though! What was I going to say? Oh yeah, it’s still very cold here, a hard frost this morning, so there was no point setting up the easel and continuing: I’d have frozen to death in 10 minutes! So, I’m just going to leave it as it is. Call it a day. Glad you like it. Did you hear of an American artist called Birge Harrison? I’ve been reading a book ‘Landscape Painting’ by him which is very interesting. I also looked into the Tonalist school of painters who worked in your part of the world and also in Brittany, France, and other locations. Again, very interesting. I know a bit about American 20th century art but not much about 19th century – and earlier – American painting.
No worries! You da man! Happy Holidays my good friend!!!!
And the same to you, Ryan! Have a great winter vacation. To you and all yours.
