Today was a magnificent three painting day. The temperature was in the high twenty's and the sky was overcast, but so what. This is the first one looking north on Barrington Road in Pownal, VT. It might be a candidate for the ugly little painting series. I'll post the others in the following days.

As always, I'm enjoying your work and the books you've been reading, Bob. Thanks so much for sharing both. I am trying to learn more about the elusive connection between art and poetry myself. There must be something more than just documenting a scene, something everyone can relate to. It's good to know you are out there appreciating the special beauty that snow provides. Hopefully some good warm boots are part of your painting gear.
Donna, I do have warm boots. It's my hands that get cold. Some things one can't do with gloves on, so periodically I have to stop and put my gloves back on to warm up. Regarding documenting a scene, by painting in a hurry, one learns what is essential and what is not. It's not easy fighting the desire to include everything, and accepting the freedom to be simpler.
Thank you for commenting. I always appreciate your observations.
Bob
