Below is the view from my window here in Westford, MA. I have 2 more half days of teaching so maybe I can do a snowscape from the window before I leave. I can't imagine painting out in it!!!
Hi Carol, Now you know why we're called 'hearty New Englanders'! Here is the link to an image and post I made a while back about Willard Metcalf painting outside in New England in winter: http://www.gailsauter.com/a-painter-on-painting/2009/2/16/painting-the-cold-of-winter.html
Stay warm - and enjoy! Gail Sauter www.GailSauter.com
ha ha, hey Carol. I'm up in Maine and we got 12 " on top of the 14' we got last Monday. Ya miss Texas? This is why I paint from photographs a lot of the time.
Your photograph brought back many childhood memories of how harsh the winter can be. I grew up in Illinois, where the winters were long and bitter. I hope you stay warm and take lots of pics!
NOW is your chance to paint snow! It's now or never! Go for it! The 1st year I lived in San Antonio it snowed 16 inches. Once in a lifetime event! That was 25 years ago. Enjoy!
Love the photo. And I am sure that you are probably the one person that is enjoying all of the snow. Those of us in warm climates would "kill" for a few snow days because we don't have to face the regularity of snow shoveling, bundling up kids and icy streets. Enjoy your workshops and take advantage of the beautiful views! I can't imagine you will have time to paint the white stuff but it would be great to see your paintings if you did!

Great photo! I hope you do get to do a life painting from that window. I know I'd want to!
Now that's cold! Hope the classes are going well!

Wait until the sun comes out. Get your camera ready. See you at the Friday class.

I can just see you in that cozy chair just painting away, lost in your work!

I miss snow. No complaints, though.
83 degrees here in SW Florida.
I hope that despite the difficulty of walking in it, it was a thrill for you ;)
