I am joining in with Nicole's link up Sunday in the art room
As my readers know I am new to painting so I am a beginner and just exploring in hopes of getting better.
My first two attempts were bad-haha-However for the first time I loved my sky and lake-but when I tried to paint the sunrise-which we enjoy every morning here over the lake-what a disaster I was sad about that one. My second attempt was even worse.
So I am up early this very cold morning (11 degrees F) and thought I would attempt a winter scene. My inspiration came from a photo in the Missouri conservation magazine-the scene looked exactly like a spot at our woods property.
I used watercolors I may come back and update with a better photo
When we first moved to Missouri I did not know that oak trees keep their leaves through the winter-the spring leaves push them off in the spring. (for better viewing click to enlarge)

Nice winter scene Kathy. And I love your mention of the oak leaves. The oaks lose theirs here in New Hampshire, but not until late-like November. They must be different species or else the overall climate makes them act slightly different. Hope you're having a nice weekend hugs-Erika
