It was a muted day with high clouds and not much sun but I felt that it was necessary to try to get out and paint - ANYTHING. Well, this is a view about two miles from my house. The river is frozen over with snow still covering much of it but there are patches of pure ice here and there. I have never painted in this location before and was dragging all of my equipment through the trees- I could see going back as there is a lot of material here- many different elevations.
