We are
officially experiencing a polar vortex – have we ever even heard this phrase before?! It’s an amazing phenomenon of plummeting temperatures and record lows.
So far, it’s been in the minus 30 and 40 degree range with windchill adding
another minus 20 degrees on to that! You know we are into something out of the
ordinary when school administrators across the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin make
a blanket decision on Monday morning to close all schools for the rest of the
week! In the Land of Rare Snow Days, this is incredible. We are in a corporate
freeze out – urged to keep our homes at about 60 degrees, dress in layers
and make sure all family members and animals stay inside!
In spite
of this, it looks like a balmy summer evening on my easel. Dear family members commissioned
me to paint a picture of their much-loved horse named Penny. This week’s painting, Penny,
is 8” x 12” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, and captures this beautiful horse
walking across their prairie pasture.
