Thaw
Posted: February 19, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 31 CommentsThe 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
Thank you for more study fodder & sumptuous eye candy – great project for puddle lessons

That’s it Soni. I can multitask. Paint with one hand and hold the dog with the other while she tries to chase squirrels.

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.

Thanks so much Linda. It’s an unusually warm week in Montreal. Very wet and of course now very grey with all that dirty snow.
