It was bitter cold this morning, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to paint for long. Unlike many other mediums, you can keep painting in oils no matter the temperature, but it really changes the way the paint moves. Despite the conditions, I wanted to capture some of the color notes, especially the way the fog hung in the evergreen branches above. I painted for a few hours, took some photos, and then finished this one at home, from the warmth of my studio.

Fog over Amethyst Brook is an original oil painting stretched and framed on a custom floater frame by local woodworker Jonah Meyer. The dimensions of the image are 11”x15”
