painting of mt. rupert, 10"x12", oil on canvas panel, near my house, january 2012

on this day, the snow, the mountains, the path, the sky, every thing was grey. pinky grey, bluey grey, soft, murkey.  it was hard to see, difficult to focus, challenging. i felt like i was looking at a pigeon, full of subtle tones of whites, greys, flashes of iridescent pinks and greens, blue.
i forgot my tripod so i couldn't take any pictures of me painting., the only one i could take was with my hand stretched out, it is aggressive looking because i was pissed that stuff kept falling off the toboggan as i pulled it through the fields.
