Whenever it is misty outside, I take the opportunity to explore the surrounding landscape as often times, what was usually a walk through the woods becomes something completely different. I came upon this scene not far from home in a part of the reserve that we don't usually visit. I was surprised to see this hill and the descending area on the right fading through the fog. A small study followed which has helped cement a few ideas in mind for a much larger work of a quiet and misty scene down by the lake which also had the same amazing atmosphere. This painting is an oil on board, size is 5" x 7".

The mist certainly adds "feeling" to the view, whether one is painting it or not...
Thanks John, I have been working on a series of mist-themed paintings of which this small study is one of many. Most of them are of scenes from the nearby reserve and now that I have finished work for an exhibition, I can get back to them.
