Winter 9×12

Here is my most recent painting.  I was able to get outside for this one and it was a bit chilly.  Thankfully I have a very thick down jacket, I'm almost embarrassed to wear it it's so thick, I look extremely top heavy, especially when the hood is up.  I am grateful that I finally have a use for it: standing still in a snow storm for 2.5 hours.  This was a very picturesque scene looking across the valley toward the Blue Mountains with a group of cows in the foreground.  I think I need to work on my painting of leafless trees a bit, but overall I'm pleased with the result.

By the way, I know there are at least two followers of my blog who live in Walla Walla, so for the two of you, and possibly more, I will be displaying a selection of landscape and still life paintings at the Walla Walla Roastery for the month of February.

Thanks for viewing!
