Days of Sunshine

My sketchbook is filling up with "snow" pictures.  Since we're in the midst of another storm this seems fitting.  Most of the time I paint from my "car studio", squished but warm.  For the picture along the Mississippi River (below) I was out in the wind and cold.  Being outside is more spacious than the car.  I work fast and furiously to maintain enough warmth in the extreme ventilation.  Its the sunshine and feeling of immediacy that gets me out there.

I've also been working again on a knitting pattern called wiggle wrap but this time with colors that remind me of the woods in spring.
