"Barren birch in the autumn field" by Hilary J. England 8" x 14", oil on canvas, 2015 |
It's been a busy week with Christmas approaching...putting up the tree and decorations, and all the other preps we usually make. I have been working steadily on my writing as well, and this takes alot of time in itself. I have three different articles going, while I also have my short story for the Travel Anthologie to clean up, so very busy indeed.
I can never NOT make time for my love though...which is plein air painting. It just clears away all the wreckage, and helps to bring my soul back to balance.
This painting of a really beautiful, bare birch tree was a bit nail-biting in that it really looked like it was going to rain, and being that it had rained on and off for days now, I was racing the clock to not get soaked. The weather held until I was done, and I was able to finish up, happy, warm, and with no wet feet.
~Enjoy!
