stage 2, I added some depth to the foreground with shadows and snow and softened the edges of the distant hills, adding a little subtle interest to the midground area. I don't want to take away from the trees, but kind of like the mist effect that covers the basic shapes. Lost and found edges are true to nature, and always add interest to a painting.

Tres Trees-in progress
One winter weekend, in 2007, I was returning from a hike at Gunnison Gorge and the evening light was spectacular.
