Winter Mornings at the Refuge

 I had a meeting early December at the Trempealeau Refuge so I had an excuse to get there early for some photos. Since the days were shorter I didn't have to be up too early to catch the sun as it rose to welcome the new day.

Here's a couple of painting inspired by that day. I've been playing with cold wax in the oil for the new year. It's very sticky and kinda icky but the results are very different for blending and creating texture.

These will be on display at Elmaro in June. Any questions cshoreartwork@gmail.com
