It’s 12 below in the studio this morning!

It’s minus 12 this morning in the studio, my canoes are put away for the season and the summer seems like a long way away! The paint is a bit stiffer then usual today(due to the cold night), but I started 3 new large paintings. While it is cold, the light is bright and clear and painting is a pleasure. A couple of sweaters, long johns and a small electric heater keep away the cold.

I have been working on a lot of winter and snow but I also wanted to do a couple of summer pictures as well just to change things up a bit. Here is a taste of what will be going off to the gallery in the next week.
