January Snow!

For the month of January, this one hasn’t been half bad! Oh yes, we’ve had snow and cold, but we haven’t had the terrible winds and I've decided, that makes all the difference. We’ve had several “snow-globe” storms with snow falling down in big flakes – and the result is fabulous sledding conditions! Over a couple of days at New Years, our grandchildren found a wonderful sledding hill in the woods behind our house. The Dad went down the first time – with Paul standing guard to make sure no trees were in the way – and then the kids were off! Despite the cold temperatures, they played on the hill for several hours each day.

This week’s painting, Snow Day, 9” x 13” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures three of them taking a break and enjoying the afternoon sunshine on the sledding hill.
