Snow at the Blue Barn

A beautiful blanket of snow arrived overnight, covering hill and dale.  Rushing my morning work to get out and paint, I found the sun warm and the wind calm.  The cedars catch the snow so gracefully, it makes me so happy to have nurtured them to this size, to be painted.  All I plant and cultivate here is with an eye to future paintings.  I can already see them in my mind, and all I have to do is work toward that vision.  Painting number 3972 in 3972 days. 

Blue Barn in the Snow

We had the most beautiful heavy snow this morning that lasted most of the day.  Large fluffy snowflakes blew in hard as I sat inside my warm, cozy home, watching the beauty from my windows.  The birds were crowding all the feeders and were so fun to watch!  The boys were working from home today so it really felt like a weekend day, and my classes were canceled at the gym.  Once the snow let up, I revisited an earlier painting to improve it in the same weather.  The light is better now, but I think I may adjust the snow lead in.  We mowed wider this year, and I think I'll revisit this again tomorrow.  Painting number 3333 in 3333 days.
