The Rose Tree

A sketchbook entry today...thank you to all who got

in touch or left comments yesterday regarding my blogger

troubles..It seems to be fixed (for now!) so happy,

happy, joy, joy once again. Last week I said I was going

to wimp out and paint some winter scenes in the studio..and

that's exactly what I've done...I'll post one of those paintings

next week. I took a bunch of pictures of winter farms and I've

been trying to capture those ever since. I also washed out

one of my large plastic palettes, so I have fresh new colors

squeezed out. I am using some new to me pigments and will

report on those as well.
