#1412 "Spring Gray"

#1412 "Spring Gray"
16x20 inches oils on canvas
These are the large maple trees on the very edge of Jim Day Rapids looking northward. The sky and snow were gray. The trees were gray. The squirrels were gray. They were all different shades of gray though so I had fun.

I set my palette down on the snow and it was soon covered by springtail fleas. These tiny fleas are quite harmless and appear every spring. Quite a few of these fleas are entombed in the painting to give the thick oil even more texture. The sounds of spring filled the air in contrast to the gray of the day.

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,

Phil Chadwick
