No country for cold men,

Picture
or so I thought while driving through Marietta Square on a crisp January morning.   Below freezing weather, water in the fountain starting to stiffen .  But a dedicated group of water color artists were gathered around local instructor Shane McDonald, a frosty mist around their easels, armed with ear-muffs and Bean-boots, paint brush in one gloved-hand and hot coffee in the other, ungloved.   I had not heard of plein air painting before. But here they were, calling my eye to some of those attractive scenes on the Square. 

So I returned (but on a much warmer winter morn) to sketch what I had previously passed by. Here are a few of those winter scenes with more to follow in the Spring.

Wow. I just pressed "publish" and suddenly your message popped up. Like you were sitting there waiting for me.

We're about to enter another "cold snap" so this seemed appropriate. Of course you don't know how big a deal is made of this in the South with your perspective from Oregon, right?
Appreciate your feedback and to know someone is watching my meager attempts to get these pictures out!!
