Oak III. January 2010. (just to help to appreciate the warmth of June, or to cool you down if you’re lucky enough to be in the sun.)
Here the focus is both on the strength of the oak, and on texture. I also tried to capture the beautiful colours of the snow clouds, I suppose it’s the ice crystals which act like pastel rainbow makers.The softness of the snow contrasts with the heavy relief of the trunk. It took months to dry!
