“There is nothing here
except the constant, looping clicks and caws
of birds, lost in trees erased by white.
My sight condensed
by each fresh, foggy breath,
a hanging depth
my head sinks through.
Nothing here
but mulching steps,
the soft snap of twigs long soaking,
the sticky sound
of car tire on wet road.
I am drenched
by a sudden gang-up of water,
a brief yawn of thunder far away.
There is nothing here
and I am all wet*.”
….John Goss. “Fog”

Gordon Beck
What makes this so appealing to me is the unexpected warm colors in a winter scene….it’s simply beautiful.
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much Gordon…very nice of you to say so…I’m really happy you like the painting.. :))
Colin Cartwright
Beautiful creation, Janis. Wonderfully effective impression of light and the autumnal hues of the trees. Like the pleasing curve of the path. A very good spatter with white, showing the snowfall.
As for your first received comment , what an insult, calling it a photo. Too many ‘art’ snapshots on this site. You are real artist and create with your hands!
Janis Zroback replied
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Colin…this is one of my early paintings..I’m self taught so every new painting is an adventure as I figure out how to do it…my recent portrait series were the first I had ever done, so I’m still learning…
Yes we are outnumbered aren’t we….hopefully more painters will find the site as time goes on…
