Talking about snow a day or so ago made me think.  I haven't done a snow painting in a while, so here's a  quick little sketch done from a photo taken a couple of years ago in Vermont.  As I mentioned in earlier blogs, any snow paintings I do now,  will be done from photos.       Mike

I stumbled across this farm in Vermont not too far from Lake Champlain. I was driving along a back road and when I saw it I stopped instantly and set up for a painting. Another thing that really got my attention was the cattle. The first time you see Belted Galloway cattle, you can hardly believe they are real. Giant Oreo's!  Dark head, shoulders and rump with a white band around the middle. And they are all like that! Anyway, I did the painting and traveled on to the lake. Great day.            Mike
