February's leave taking


Even with the sun out yesterday, it got cold enough for my tubes of paint to get very stiff, not frozen mind you but still… 
As for my hands I managed with a pair of striped, half woolen gloves over latex ones – it’s a pleasure to get moderately filthy during these exercises. The good news is that there was practically no head wind and next week it promises to be warmer,  7 celsius, alsmost downright balmy.

  1. Awesome, great energy. Well -- now the year starts hurrying. I love this painting, and
    am dazzled again by your work.

    Love,

    Barbara

    1. Thank you Barbara! But of course your energy is nothing to be sneezed at!!!
      I really hope you can avoid that extreme sense of rush - not something that I personally care for so I hope you can avoid that excessive feeling of time flying by at least for part of the time!
      love, Marcia
