Sunlight on Mountain - Winter

10" x 8" Oil on mounted canvas.

This is a plein air from my walk yesterday. I trudged though a foot of snow for about a mile to get to this view of the mountain. My house is actually at the foot of this set of hills across a creek from where I painted. The sun only occasionally hit the trees like this as the clouds rolled in an out, but it was really nice when it did. I knew it was time to stop when the sun breaks stopped coming by and my fingers stopped working.
