Day 8 - 6x8 oil painting. I completed this in about two hours. I was inspired by a photograph I took while hiking one early winter's morning. I tried to capture the low early morning sunlight coming through the trees and the interesting shadows and colors of the fallen snow.
Although I worked with a photo, I just used it as insperation and not to copy every detail. I have found that directly working or copying a photo can affect the final look of the painting by not providing the emotional connection with the viewer.
Love these woods. This painting really captures the feeling you get on those cold morning hikes.
