Before the spring growth re-emerges, the spatial qualities of the landscape present themselves in new and exciting ways. With most of the tree foliage absent one can see deeper into the landscape and the character of the inlets and clumps of growth.
The driftwood in the foreground, that has emerged from the long winter, has a sculptural quality that stands out in the landscape. Also, it is an appetizing landing strip for any bird to perch on.
I like the sky as much as the landscape in this picture. There is such vibrant energy above the tree line. I tried to bleed warm touches along with the blues both with soft and hard edges. Some of that energy is reflected in the water.
One of the qualities I noticed was the distant field through the evergreens. It adds a hazy, surreal quality to the landscape. However, to me the evergreens make the picture - a certain backdrop to the changing stage.
