Tree in Spring

March is but two weeks away. This is a tree in my back yard, I have a little fairy door, window and steps for the bottom of the tree. Of course, the fairies and the fairy door are packed away for the winter. Tonight's temperature is zero. I'm using this time to paint and not venture out of doors.

Challenge day 15

Day 15 of the 30 day challenge. I wanted to paint these amazing glasses my son bought while at the Van Gogh museum. Adding to the still life a bottle of Chardonnay that had a beautiful label titled Ghost Pines.

The colors in the photo are not as vibrant as the real painting. Another challenge to living in the NE of the US.
