My snow blower sure got a work out!  I had my fill of snow for the season.

Thanks to Trish and her neighbor for this one.  Homemade in Lititz! 
If you miss it, more are coming.  The nice thing about a snowman painting; you can keep it out all winter, or all year if you are really into winter!

Linda loves to shovel so it is usually her job to clear our long sidewalk. BUT if we get the amount we possibly COULD get, I need to go check on our snow blower.  Get some gas...mentally prepare myself!  Linda is thinking ahead to a soup or two to make.

My buddy Jeff Pfeiffer, he makes wonderful copper creations (he is on Facebook @ Copper Creations) builds these miniature snowmen that sit on his grill or deck rail every time it snows. Imagine this is about 5" tall! And he has been sending them to me for a year or two and I never paint them... so here it is!


My plan is to paint snowmen all week.

latest...


I finished this over the weekend. Framed to 14x18
Untitled and not priced BUT available!!
From a trip to Glendale Flour Mills in Boyertown.

I start with a sketch to get the feel and general composition.
Then hand draw on my watercolor paper
next is a series of light washes to get what is called underpainting.



Keep building and drying and getting darker washes.


Generally I paint the mini "Painting A Day" pieces Monday thru Thursday and then use the weekend for my larger paintings.  YES, I paint every day, most of the day unless we have something to do.  I LOVE painting.

2026 Winter #8


$225.   Lime Rock Road in the snow. Lititz, PA  By now you figured out I drove out on Lime Rock Road during our last storm and photographed the farms in the fresh snow!  I have one more to go and then if it snows I'll head out in another direction!

This one is actually much brighter than it looks here.  For some reason it looks more gloomy than snowy.  I promise you will love it!

I plan to spend the weekend working on a 14x18 still life.

Gettysburg...looks more fall like but it was December and there was some remnants of snow.

Great news, I had my 3 month cat scan yesterday and it is clear, no signs of cancer.  Everyone who has been through this knows you hold your breath for a few days.
