Winter Trees

Still thinking about tree gestures, which is the Daily Paintworks weekly challenge, and was prowling through photos in the morgue file online, when this sweet image came to view. Simple, yet breathtakingly beautiful. I knew I would have to paint it. I thought about calling it "Pink Sky", but the subject is really the trees, so there you have it. I love it, especially the delicate branches in the bare tree tops. Plus that lavender, bluish field of snow.
