DEEP SNOW

'Deep Snow'
Oil 8 x 10

Several postings ago I put up some photos of
the snowstorm we got that dumped almost two
feet of snow all over our yard. Well...only four
short days later we got another storm, and at least
18 more inches of snow!

This is the view of my garden shed, and the
fence that surrounds the
garden - before the wind kicked up and the
snow started to drift. The iron obelisk that
I use to trellis my morning glories is a little over
four feet tall...thats the thing there in the foreground
peeking up through the snow...

I am beginning to think that groundhog
might have made a nice little stew...just kidding...

THE GROUNDHOG WAS RIGHT!

Well, I guess that grumpy old groundhog really did
know what he was talking about. We have almost
24 inches of snow here, and it is still snowing!
It will be interesting to see the final totals.
Here are some pictures:


This is a view of our backyard. I took the picture
from an upstairs window to get the snow-covered
limbs from our pine trees.



The shed...the snow is almost to the top of the
garden fence!


A view of the studio - those two white lumps in
the foreground are out vehicles. There's going to
be some serious snow shovelling once this snow
stops, but it won't be soon because it is still
putting it down here right now!

I was going to take a break today to get some
housework done...well, it just didn't happen. I
sat down at my easel and started this painting,
working from photographs I took after the first
big snow we had this past December. The late
afternoon light on that day had produced
the most gorgeous colors.

Once I got started, I could not stop...I did not
even break for lunch. Love being in this mode - I
feel so creative and the energy is really flowing.
