Snow at the Pond

Happy New Year!  What a wonderful way to start the new year - painting snow and ice down at the pond!  I love to explore the winter landscape in paint, and oils are my choice today.  Temps have dropped from 63 degrees yesterday to the teens today - so I am painting fast!  Complete with hand warmers and toe warmers, and all my warm gear, I am still cold.  It takes me a week or more to acclimate to the cold, and I've not yet had the chance!  It's hard to believe I spent most of yesterday outside in the gardens!  Painting number 3269 in 3269 days, possibly, but it is definitely my ninth year of daily painting today!  ❤
