"Hoarfrost, Again"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard |
There had been snow, but most of it melted. Leafless trees dandled the sky with their finger-like sticks. Cornstalks stabbed the drifts in steadfast rows across the field. But the magic came during the night, when Lady Hoarfrost graced them with a visit.
This was another experiment. You must know by now that I can't leave well enough alone, so here's how I messed up
well enough. I painted a band of dark across my panel, added to it a band of ochre and let them dry. I painted white over the whole shebang, then added a sky. I took my frequently-used signature signing tool, my colour shaper, and scraped trees into the dark band, and cornstalks into the ochre band. I signed it below the tree line on the right and—called it a day!
Thanks for maundering through,
