Although this sounds nice, I am not a winter person. I love sun, sun and more sun. I grew up in St. George, Utah and I guess the sunshine is what I know and love. I am sick of winter. I don't do winter sports unless you call shoveling mounds of snow in our driveway a sport. I slipped and fell behind the school a few days ago trying to skate my way in on black ice. A few bumps and bruises later I realize I am ready for spring...actually I am ready for summer. There is one thing I do love about winter though and that is locking myself into the art studio, turning on some music or a podcast and painting the cold, winter months away. This is a recent painting that I started "plein air" in Parowan, Utah and finished up in the studio. Stay warm and be safe in these slippery conditions and hopefully I will see you when I come out of hibernation this spring.
