Thaw

The most challenging subject to paint in my neighbourhood today is the road. The thermometer is up in the positives, and after all the snow we had earlier in the week, there are some good reflections to be found. Besides the puddles, I spotted some other early signs of spring: lots of birds, people without hats on, and a father and son on their bikes. Winter is not over yet but as a dog walker, it makes me happier to navigate a wet road than an icy one.

    If you tell me you painted this with one hand while walking the dog with the other, I will have to commit brush hair-kari

    I just love those wet, reflected puddles…marvelous!

  12. Nice puddles! You make me jelous; I had to spend my day behind the wheel on the highway-no time to sketch.

    • I haven’t had much time either Holly. There is so much going on at school but I try to sneak in a few minutes here and there. I am also looking forward to my March break — a week with no classes to rush off to.

    Love it, Shari! The reflections in the puddles are spot on. I can almost feel the thaw that is taking place. Thanks for sharing!
