Here is the Howe Covered Bridge in oil paint on a late winter day. I was inspired by a great oil painter, Aldo Hibbard from the 1920's. He was a Vermont painter and excellent at capturing the very low light which occurs all year in Vermont! He allowed objects to have similar values, but different colors and this way his "edges" are sublime and so subtle.
Look at the blue house and the tree at its left side, or
the tree and the bridge.
