Painting on a Cold Day is Worth it

Barge Ties
It was a cold, windy morning yesterday. I usually start out with good intentions, but bail. Twice I left when the hardier artists braved it out to produce some wonderful plein air paintings, while I worked from photos that do not do justice to the winter scenes. This time I came prepared with insulated overalls and two sets of gloves. I stuck it out long enough to finish this scene.

When a Tree Falls in the Forest
The afternoon was better as I shed the insulated overalls and even the gloves. I took my dog Catfish along for the exercise. He found a rabbit skin left by a hunter and of course did not listen to my shouts to "drop it" and ate the whole thing. That came back up when we got home.
