Snow on Old Hackberry
Today finds me painting the second largest hackberry in our winter wonderland! Relatively close to the house on this cold 11 degree afternoon, I took a warm up break in the middle. I made the mistake of taking off my painting hand glove briefly, and those fingers got cold fast. When it is this cold, it is so important to layer up, including a neoprene layer. I keep a sherpa scarf over my face, reducing skin exposure, ending with a heavy hooded down coat and tall rubber boots. I don't like painting with a glove on my paint hand, but I have to when it's this cold. I'm looking for good neoprene gloves for just this. My fleece lined leather gloves are fine for a while, but don't keep my fingers warm towards the end. I know that if they start to tingle, it is time to warm them up! Painting number 2954 in 2954 days
