Dog walk
Posted: March 10, 2018 Filed under: Uncategorized 26 CommentsI was out early this morning, sketching a snowy scene in Pointe Claire. I suspect that winter is not entirely over, but as it warms up the snow gradually gets dirtier and the sludge heaps that are left are not very pretty to paint. In the morning I share the street with the dog walkers who look at me suspiciously, parked in my car with a sketchbook resting on the steering wheel. What could I be recording at that hour of the morning, they wonder. Little do they know that it is them.

Spectacular! Nothing beats watercolor for those clean crisp whites!!!

Thanks Gayle. It just keeps on snowing here. I bet you are getting pounded today. You are in the Maritimes, right?

Yes indeed I’m over here on the East Coast presently getting it’s customary St. Patrick week’s last (hopefully!) kick at the winter can!

Super! You’ve really captured the feel of a cold morning. With 2 dogs-how well I know that morning walk. I know you’re tired of snow and winter but I will miss your snow paintings.

Judy, I’m tired of the cleaning the snow off of my car, tired of shovelling, but never tired of painting snow.

I especially love the addition of the one bent over shoveling the snow. Thanks for the great painting and notes. Your descriptions add so much to the watercolors you forward to us. Always, they make me smile.

Oops…without glasses I thought the figure in your painting was someone shoveling. Rereading your post, I can “see” someone walking a dog! Oh my.

No problem Bernadette. I kind of thought he looked like he was shovelling too!

Terrific! I can “feel” that neighborhood, and that “dirty snow” stage. Great capture.
