Winter Grasses

 

 

 

It was hard to find grasses that weren't laying down flat from the last deep snow we had.  I found this area looking up a hill next to a path that led down towards the river.  The sky was overcast and it was cold but being down hill helped shelter me from the wind.

A Cold Winter Day

Audubon Center at Riverlands

 

 

It was cold and windy so I sheltered myself with a few others behind a building to paint.  The sky was overcast but seemed to brighten up after awhile.   I had a tough time as usual with the leafless winter trees.  I tried a palette knife, then a brush, wiping out and going back and forth.  After I got home and looked at it for awhile I wiped it off and tried again using brush, palette knife and fingers.  Finally I decided to go with this version as my memory of the scene is no longer in my mind.
