Wet snow
Posted: November 16, 2022 Filed under: Uncategorized 23 CommentsWinter arrived suddenly today. Last week people were outside in shorts and today the snow plows were criss-crossing the neighbourhood. Of course I could hardly sleep last night knowing that I could paint my wheelbarrow today. And although I got to it rather late in the day when everything was starting to melt and I was losing the light, there was still some snow on it and it was a good start to the winter painting season.
I also sketched Alice having her afternoon nap. At the end of the day, there’s always one eye on me as I sketch her in case I suddenly decide to feed her or take out to the park to retrieve tennis balls. She will happily go from sleeping to standing if I move too quickly, so I sketch quietly and hope no one rings the doorbell.

Hi Shari, Happy to see the wheelbarrow back. I believe I have the very same one. It is somewhat rusty and bent, and my husband keeps threatening to get rid of it! I personally can’t understand why! It still works. I also always love to see Alice and read your little comments about her. Thanks. Sue

HI Sue. Don’t get rid of that wheelbarrow. The new ones are never that nice to paint! Mine doesn’t even work anymore but I will leave it in place. Besides that, it’s famous now so I can’t discard it!!

So lovely! Both the painting and the sketch of Alice! They both draw me in and make me ponder how you did that! Alice looks like such a sweet dog…

Jane, Alice is a very sweet dog. In fact, she’s sitting by my side in my office right now but she’ll pop up soon and give me that “take me for a walk” look.

Lovely to see your wheelbarrow again in the snow!
I hope you’ll do a winter deciduous tree class. I find it so challenging to master a strategy to paint the tiny branches at the tops of trees.

Love your wheelbarrow in the snow, though I could pass on the snow! LOL
I’m a summer girl, but luckily I have your Sketching Winter course, and hopefully I’ll have a better appreciation for winter in this way!

Marilyn, that’s ok. You can paint snow and still live in a nice warm place. I’ll just keep going out into the cold to create the courses!
