Cottonwood in Winter

Cottonwood in Winter, oil, 12x9 by Janet Fons

This painting is a stroll down memory lane for me. The image is from Prospect Park in the Denver area. I took the reference photo during a plein air class I was taking with Doug Dawson through the Denver Art Students League in March of 2005. Spring was just around the corner but the landscape was still pretty bleak with dead grass and bud-less trees. I just decided to paint this image this month (March in St. Louis).
