THE NORTH HILL, ANOTHER VIEW

                                               
6x8, oil/canvas board

Another scene from my near by hill.  I pushed the ground color to get the sky contrast I wanted.  The trees are the leaf keeper oaks who won't lose all their old leaves until Spring.  I didn't think we would see sun today and it has been a mixed bag.  Last night we had loud thundering storms with rain and a friend of mine tells me she saw horizontal lightening.   Oh, well..............
