Today finds me in the pumpkin patch - finally painting snow on my pumpkins! My first chance of this unseasonably warm season, I am enjoying the interplay between warm light and cool shadows that push violet and blue. The snow is melting right before my eyes, the sun shining down upon it! Today I am starting an "extreme plein air event", shared to me from an artist in Russia who follows my work. For the next week I will be sharing my outdoor pursuit of the perfect winter painting, tagging it with #win_winter2022. Who doesn't want to WIN winter 2022?!! There are several art suppliers involved - and chances to win something everyday. They are probably looking for creative videos on the experience, which are beyond what I currently share in process. Maybe I'll try to add some of that to my daily work. Truly, today was not extreme at all. I actually got too warm in my thick wool scarf and outdoor gear, shed it all to cool off on the porch when I got back to the house! Lol! Pretty sure this time of year IS pretty extreme in Russia! Painting number 3288 in 3288 days, and day 3 of the current #stradaeasel challenge. Wondering about that number? I'm going to start correcting that each January, because I seem to lose track during the year, and even find that posts have disappeared for no apparent reason! Oh technology, why can't you work perfectly all the time?
