winter for critters
There are some critters happy in the cold and others
not so much
Maybe somebody needs a winter coat!

Can't you just see everybody snug inside the house

Skate with me...
skating at Rockefeller Center
Yes there's watercolor and a lot of something else.
Pitt pen, Sakura stardust pen and twinkling h2o plus iridescent watercolor
to add a little sparkle to the rink and falling snow.
I used to stand and watch these folks for quite awhile
then head for a cup of cocoa.

Frosty...
We've had a few chilly nights
and so the roofs and many plants
have been touched by frost.
I really wanted to capture the look of frost on holly...
and the crisp, cold feel of the morning.
Can you see the frosting?

White...
I remember these storms
and enjoyed driving in them
slowly
Snow on the farm
time for comfort food and inside activity
When the weatherman says it
this is what I picture
I love watercolor winter scenes
it's almost like being there
but warmer

Day 4 - Freezy Biscuit Weather!
I've fallen and I can't get up!
In response to a different challenge to paint a polar bear
and to illustrate just how cold it is
STILL
This little guy "posed" for a portrait.
The truth is he's fallen on the slippery ice
and can't manage to get up and going again.
(his butt is getting numb)
"Freezy Biscuits" is the expression I used
to let my kids know it was cold out.
(cold enough to freeze your butt off)
Pam , this is what polar bears look like in their natural environment.
Snow and ice everywhere and temperatures that make a fur coat
a requirement for survival.

Snow in the Mountains
(On the road to Crater Lake)
I heard that it has snowed in the Cascades overnight. That reminded me of my very first visit here. It was over a Christmas holiday and I was so very lucky to have a friend take me everywhere to see the beauty of the Pacific NW.
We traveled many snow covered roads exploring National Parks and Forests. Not exceptionally smart in the dead of winter.
This painting is actually based on an exciting ride to Crater Lake in a virtual blizzard. Why would I even expect to see that super blue lake in the midst of winter? Visibility was less than 1 foot. The lodge was open for skiers and snowmobilers so we were able to have hot chocolate. I was able to buy postcards, calendars and many other little souvenirs with the stock photo of that beautiful super blue lake.
We literally crawled back to the car for the trip back to town. The road was even more covered with snow and only occasionally could you see tire marks from the other fools out on that day. The snow banks were blue . Yes, blue. They were extremely high, too.
And the world was quiet and all the trees were Christmas Trees.
I had a blast adding touches of interference blue in the shadows on the snow and little bits everywhere representing the falling snow. You know, it looks just like I remember.
Too bad the glistening doesn't show in a photo.
