Out My Studio Window and Around the House

Last week another storm added a new layer of snow to the valley.
Deer tracks in the snow. Food is getting harder to find.
The deer have taken all the apples they can reach from the trees. They are trimming the bushes near the house and visiting the bird feeders.
The temperature is rising this week. A hoarfrost on Wednesday melts as the sun hits it, raining down ice crystals.
The air is damp in the evenings creating pastel sunsets.

Snow Day




I love the subtle shades the landscape takes on when the sky is overcast and snowy. The silhouettes of trees against the white snow and gray sky fascinate me.
I long to sit and draw what I see.
