It's been cold and snowy in Eugene, Oregon. We're not used to such cold weather. We live on a hill that is somewhat steep and curvy. Even with chains, it's quite a scary experience to drive down the hill when it is icy, so I've taken advantage of being "snowed in" to do some painting. Yes, I know, it's a shame to have to stay home, drink coffee, and paint...I'd much rather go to work (NOT!).
I'm in a holiday mood, so spent my time practicing the fracturing technique on a Christmasy painting (see Julie Ford Oliver's blog to see how a pro does it).
Here's our cozy house in the snow...

Quite beautiful - really wonderful colors and a great Christmas-y feel to it. There is a confidence in the application which means to are far more comfortable with the fracturing. Good for you, Sue.
Thank you, Julie. The fracturing technique really appeals to me - I like the look of fracturing as well as the process, itself. I realize I still have a long way to go, but it's an enjoyable practice.
I do find it totally enjoyable/absorbing, Sue, and I am always delighted when someone else does too. I can see your own style quite clearly. I have been using the technique for almost 18 months and still find it challenging.
