Snow on the Trail

As I painted here on the cedar trail, the temperature climbed into the 50's!  The birds were singing, and often, geese call to each other as they for over. The peace and tranquility wrap around me like a blanket, and this place seeps into my soul, and into my painting. The clear blue sky was the perfect backdrop for this winter beauty. I'm so fortunate the snow hasn't melted yet!  Painting number 3323 in 3323 days. 

Snow on Cedar Trail

 

My dog really enjoys a run around the property, especially during the winter months.  So, I took him out early to hunt for any snow left after the warm days of sunshine.  This path is heavily shaded by cedars in several places, and I was so happy to find a lovely snowscene left to paint!  Returning with my oils, it is actually another warm day to paint with little wind.  I can already see that the distant trees need to be roughed up a little, but that is an easy fix while the paint is still wet!  SO relaxing to stand in this place and paint, and I love painting the last remaining snow on the cedar trail this afternoon!
