January 11

Another crispy, sunny day. Beautiful frozen landscape. I have not been out on my snowshoes yet this year. 10 degrees above zero is my cut-off!

The past 2 days I have been in the studio painting in the resisted design on my panels. Again, very challenging to see the lines. In the future I will add some color into the resist when I mix it so it will be more visible. I started with a dark Tobacco color mixed from flowable fabric paints, then moved on to a brilliant Emerald and then a Golden Green.
The fractured, ice dyed ground colors are taking shape as light filtering through the summer leaves. An extreme contrast to the frost covered trees outside.
