A Patch of Winter
January 6th & 7th, 2012
Cox Reservation, Essex, MA
Oil on Canvas, 18 x 24 in

As it says, this little patch of ice and snow was all that could be found on the marsh that I felt was suitably wintery. The flattish area between the reeds fills with water when the tide is up, and this patch of ice managed to form at some point between tides.
