Black Friday

Today is Black Friday, one of the busiest days of shopping every year. It marks the beginning of the Christmas season here in the States and for us in the upper Midwest it also approximates the beginning of wintry weather. I suppose we ought to call today Frozen Friday instead. And in reality there has been a big snowstorm in the northern reaches of the Midwest, but our ground is still bare.

During the next several months there are likely to be dozens of opportunities for painting and drawing snow scenes. The watercolor above is an example of the kind of scene outside my studio during winter. I expect to do quite a few more sketches like this if the long range weather forecasts are even close to accurate.
