Spring is finally starting to arrive here in southeastern Ontario. It was a long, snowy winter and spring hasn’t exactly been warm and welcoming yet, but it’s coming.

I’ve been thinking about fog lately. In the transition from cooler temperatures to warm, fog often rolls in quite silently, especially in the early mornings. Creating a foggy look with paint seems like it should be easy. It isn’t. Not for me anyway. For this one I started with a basic landscape background which I have then started to cover over with a somewhat transparent white wash. The latest layer was applied with a Breyer and I kind of like the edges it creates. Real fog doesn’t look anything like this of course, but then … so what?

I’m sure it’ll go through many changes. Stay tuned!
