Though the crocus are poking out of the ground, and in some neighborhoods, daffodils are popping up as well, snow flew yesterday -- flurries only, no accumulation - but the blustery winds and frigid temps reminded us once more, winter isn't ready to depart.
This painting was done from photos I took during our previous snowfall. I stood on our road and looked across the fence and through the trees to capture a bit of the farmhouse.
Yesterday's snow was beautiful - if short lived. The days are slowly growing longer, and I am certain this summer when we slog through 90F heat and humidity, we'll miss the crispness of such clean, bright air.
Still, it seems to have been a mighty long winter!
Stay warm!

A real beauty, Lin. The Carolina winter has been rough this year. You are making beautiful memories of this unusual weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely reflection of the winter and this painting is beautiful. Between the painting and your words I feel as if I had experienced this setting myself. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLovely Lin! Your snow sketches really give us on this other side of the world a peek into your winters. Nice going.
