The snow that was foretold by the sunrise altocumulus had arrived. It was too
snowy and cold to work outside overlooking Jim Day Rapids so I had to retreat to
the studio. You can paint outside in light snow. The snow mixes a bit with the
paint and changes it to a oatmeal consistency which isn't all that bad - it
gives a lot of texture to the final work.
I painted without my glasses in order to concentrate on shape and colour -
and not fiddle with brush strokes and the finish of the oil on the canvas. Monday, April 29, 2013

That's an awesome painting, Phil! Isn't it true that often the painting situations that present the most problematic conditions end up having a special charm!
