I had this gray day landscape hanging around that I felt was unfinished for a while. I know if wasn't going to get framed, but I was close. Just waited for the right time. And that came when it snowed in December 2016. So I set up on my front porch and gave it a blanket of snow. When my paint started to freeze is when the textures really started to sing and I think is a real strong part of this piece. Its probably tough to see in the image and is a real fun piece to see up close.
