What a challenging subject for our plein air session this morning in Samuel Lewis State Park. The fog was pretty thick and stayed dense for the remainder of our morning. The trees were very thin and very tall. They had the uplifting and inspiring feel of columns in a Gothic cathedral. I was wishing I had a long narrow canvas to create the full effect of the branches reaching high into the sky. Creating the distance was relatively easy. The fog kept everything muted and there were no great color contrasts to distract or confuse the eye . We had a nice lunch on the river in Wrightsville. The restaurant was situated next to a very, very old iron works factory. It was another fun day.

Very peaceful painting with a calm balance to the composition. Painting in fog sounds like such a challenge!
Yep, that's pretty much how it looked. It was a fun day.
I think it is so neat that you and Julie and I painted in the same general area and got three unique paintings. I love how you created the softness of the fog - that is what it was all about. Beautiful!
