Simple Landscape


This 9x12 oil on linen I did last week before the snow came which has now disappeared.  Instead of facing east where Mount Greylock is, I was looking north across the stream that is at the bottom of the painting.  The field that I was standing in I would not enter during the summer for fear of ticks, another reason for doing outdoor winter painting.  The hill really does have that gentle curved shape, which the stream parallels.   The tree form ties the horizon to the stream.  Simple.
