Winter's Edge

 

Inspiration came from an off ramp of the Garden State Parkway where the day's light drizzle made a thick mist rise from the snow. 

Started this one with a fixed palette and some small plotting as to where to put the trees.  Having a fixed palette helps me focus more on the use of the colors rather than picking them later on. Although, the initial plan had green in it, I felt it was finished without it.
