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”

    What makes this so appealing to me is the unexpected warm colors in a winter scene….it’s simply beautiful.

  • Janis Zroback replied

  • Colin Cartwright

    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…
