I got an ironic kind of chuckle out of this.
Scheduled to teach the beginning of a six week oil painting class we had a snow storm move in, canceling most everything.....including getting down our driveway. Emailing everyone as quickly as I could before the power could go out I tried to accommodate as many folks as I could with suggestions for a make up session.
Waiting for the emailed answers to come in I painted this out our kitchen window. Two colors. (For the painters it was Transparent Indian Red and Ultramarine Blue.)
Finishing I went in to check the email. Almost everyone had replied but as I sat there another whooshed in. Two students had decided to bag it, cancel my class and go to Tucson for a month.
Like the hummingbirds that left the feeder for warmer climes, so did these folks.....and they didn't take me with them. Ah well. I bet they'll miss the rain.....
Amazing what two colors can do, remarkable
ReplyDeleteYou captured the snowy light perfectly in this.At least as I remember it. We've had a 65 degree winter here in Charlotte this year...no need to go to Tucson...we need to fly to WA. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to go south too!
ReplyDeleteYes, they will miss the rain.
You make it look so easy. Lovely painting. I looked out of the window and wondered how I would portray it and basically chickened out. I did make a quicky atmospheric late in the day oil pastel, but one could barely pick out that it was a snow scene.
