Just some random Thoughts and a New Work

I have been laid up for almost a month due to foot surgery,Have not been out painting since the second week of Jan. I had no idea how much I would miss it. Sure I have been painting in the studio but it is not the same as being out grabbing the essence of the scene and slapping paint on canvas.I love the smell of turp in the morning!    
Above is the last plein aire that I did before my hiatus. 24x30  finished the snow back in the studio.I am very happy with this painting, I think it came out well and it looks nice in a frame. This was done on a warmer day late morning to early afternoon. I would like to know how to take better photos or have them look better on the net but this will have to do.

    Bob, this is fantastic!
    The depth, the colors in the sky, that pearlecents colors in the snow.
    A Minnesota scene for sure.
    Hope your foot is getting better, I hope you get out to paint more. We still have plenty of winter yet!

    Thanks Bill! I am starting to hobble around a lot easier now and these paintings are so close to the house that I hardly have to walk til I start painting. I am good for a couple hours and then she starts to throb. Can you see a little Stape in these?
