In the here and now for a change. It snowed yesterday, and winter feels like a house guest who keeps extending their stay – it was nice at first but just leave will you!
So, while I am awaiting its departure, here is a collection of winter scenes from the last fifteen months. Painting outside when it is below zero is truly grim and I sense numbing fingers and shrinking patience when I look at some of these. But it is a season that has its own very particular beauty. Right now I want it out of here but come November I will be glad to welcome its return.
