Cold Weather Work

Cold weather encouraged me to paint in the studio.

I did walk and snowshoe though, and discovered ski tracks on an abandoned railroad bed. Apart from the visual pun, icicles, rock and snow made a delicious combination that compelled me to paint the scene. I snapped a bunch of reference photos and rushed home to block in the painting.

Plein air work definitely helped with the memory part of the job, since my new camera knows way more than I do.

The camera and I will understand each other one day.
