It's another heavily textured acrylic. Plaster base, several gesso coats followed by at least a dozen layers of paint and glaze.
The trees were made with thinned paint and applied with an eyedropper... gravity was in the driver's seat.
I think I've got these out of my system for the time being. Back to the oils soon.

Thanks Warren!
Really neat! It's got mystery and depth, and I love those blue shadows on the snow.
It's beautiful, the feeling of sunlight in wintery forest is captured really well!

Beautiful! Love the texture, and how you've expressed the light.
There is a sense of calmness to this painting. I love it.
Wow - this has such an icy cold feel to it. Definitely says winter to me. I like how you've captured the icy cold of winter with colour and texture. Glad it doesn't get that cold here... :)
thanks everyone! i appreciate your kind words.
