Jane Aston, painter.

I went out for a short walk this afternoon. The forest freezes above us  while we are sheltered a little. We are quite near the Haut Folin or high forest. I'm intrigued by how the forest freezes and then today I watched a slow thaw and the ice receding away from us.The sky is very clear this evening so I think there will be more frosty tree tops tomorrow. I am returning to painting a few of the buildings across the lake so I am a bit stuck on this view at the moment. I felt a few plants in the garden. There are some very crispy frosty shoots out there.
