Storm Clouds Threatening

Too cold to go outside and paint. I pulled this up and painted the "bare trees" but they ended up looking a little more dressed.

I used an art store brand of hard panel from Blick. It had a dinged corner so I marked off the 8" x 10 corner or the 12" x 9" panel.  The surface was a slick like melamine wall panels. I had to adjust to it, but I would buy it again. For covering the surface fast and an easy wipe off it worked well, sometimes too well.
