There was a stunningly high tide today, and since I was wearing my tall rubber boots I decided to wade in a little to find a good spot to paint. It was then I learned that my rubber boots are full of holes. I stayed anyway, but confess that dreams of warm and dry feet were my main focus, the painting probably suffered as a result. I may tweak this one a bit, but am inclined to leave it as it stands for the most part.

This is only the second time since I began Plein air in 2011 that I’ve been fortunate enough to paint snow – and what we had was disappearing, so I chose to sit in the shade where there was more of it. However, I’m just recovering after a bout with the new flu – so got rather cold rather quickly. I might try to finish this, or I might leave it as is, as a study.
