Mountain Retreat

Happy New Year! We are living out the song lyrics, “the weather outside is frightful, but the fire so delightful” – with minus 20-degree temps over the past several nights! Last night, though, we bundled up and ventured out to greet the new year. It was about -20 degrees, but there was a beautiful full moon and a night sky filled with bright stars. We have deep snow here and the woods was so quiet, but we could hear the distant ruckus of the Trumpeter swans and Canadian geese on the creek that runs behind our house. The Fox Creek stays open all winter and we are thrilled that about 30 Trumpeters choose to make that their winter home and stay all year round.

This week’s painting, Mountain Retreat, 11”x12” Watercolor on 300 lb. paper, calls the viewer to relax and enjoy the warmth of spring sunshine at a mountain cabin.
