Last winter we had an ice storm following several days of snow. As a result, branches, berries, pine cones, etc. became encased in ice which created some very interesting visual effects against the white of the snow. Being new to New York, and having lived in Los Angeles most of my life, seeing these berries wrapped up and isolated in ice was a new experience.
I wanted to see if I could capture the look of the berries in ice, and was very happy with the results. I working this painting wet on wet, with lots of texture. It was enjoyable and exciting to work in this very loose style.
The painting is 6″ x 8″ on 1/4″ pure eucalyptus hardboard, prepped with two coats of acrylic gesso.

Very nicely done. Were you painting plein-air? Are you seeking treatment for that crazy move from California to New York?
