River Patterns
February 4, 2011
Cold weather and overcast/cloudy conditions have put a cramp on outdoor ventures. I long for fresh snow and bright sun to yield some strong, interesting shadows to the winter landscape. I want to get back outside to paint. Some warmer temperatures would help.
I went through a couple of my sketchbooks and skimmed through some resource photos to uncover the design for this painting. The spot is a canoe launch along the Kishwaukee River. I love the design implications of the ice along the quiet shallows.
