Cedar Creek Thaw
Looks like today was the last of the snowy plein air pieces for a while. The weather is supposed to turn warmer early this week, and most of the snow was melting this afternoon. I did get a chance to jump down into another part of Cedar Creek today though. This one took about 2 and a half hours. I purposely used the same limited palette and the same size canvas, as I think these last three look good together as a short series.

This does have the feel of 'thaw' to it! The tree in the creek intrigues me.

That is gorgeous. I've always been too scared to try oils. I do watercolors.
