An oil painting of three trees standing in the snow. The painting is created plein air, and is kept very abstract.
The winter landscape painting shown in natural light.
This painting has been created with thick oil paint, using a palette knife, which is visible in the thick impasto textures.
A close up showing the textures of the white snow, which is actually painted in broken white, with cool and warmer hues.
In the upper half of the painting you can see how elements in the front subtly contrast with elements far away because of the addition of grey.
This painting was created plein air on a cold morning with a lot of snow. Here the painting is shown at the end of the painting session together with the trees.

On this morning I went outside just a little bit before sunrise. It was snowing, but I thought, perhaps it will stop soon, and then I’m ready to go. But it didn’t stop, so I went ahead anyway. I started to paint with a brush, but that was impossible since both the brush and the palette became covered with ice crystals. So, I went in with the palette knife, just like yesterday. I love that of painting outdoors, you make decisions you wouldn’t make in the comfort of the studio. Sometimes you end up painting the experience and atmosphere rather than the precise subject in front of you.
