Since I like color, winter can be a difficult time. But the weather hasn't been warm enough to begin rotting the leaves on the ground. This makes them an opportunity to add color to a scene that is devoid of the usual opportunities that the other seasons bring.
This path was found along the Mississinewa River. Fishermen use it to walk along the river and then take detours to the river's edge to fish. The leaves are still orange and yellow. The defoliated trees have a blue and red cast to them and this contrasted well with the ground color and sky.
One good thing I find about winter is that it allows the trees to cast distinct long shapes across the woodland floor. This lets me work with the positive and negative spaces within the canvas – it also helps create more depth as the shadows recede they become smaller and closer together.

Avon,
This is an interesting painting. I hadn't really thought much about the positive/negative space in paintings. I think I've always been more concerned about color values. But I understand what you mean...
