Snow and Ice

Tough conditions today. Most of the day was very dreary. We had 4" of snow overnight and then sleet and freezing rain. Driving home from work though the fog lifted and there were some incredible scenes popping out. A majority of purples mixed with some magenta/perm. rose along with the muted whites. The ice on the trees was spectacular! I wish I could paint more plein air on week days, however I think this will stick around awhile so may capture it on the weekend. This is my favorite car. Jetta TDI. 50 mpg diesel. And it burns homebrew biodiesel in warmer temperatures! I'm painting yellow tomatoes tomorrow evening and they will be the next post. Cheers
