Description
Stan Rogers' song "45 Years from Now" applies both to true love and Earth Day. There is no time for shallow love and even less for hollow politics. There is much furor around the political achieving of "net zero" carbon by 2050. The heavy lifting of averting the impacts of climate change are left for the period well beyond the political horizon. The climate crisis is left to be fixed by some divine miracle, after the current four year political horizon. There is no Earth 2.0 and the planet may have already passed the precipitous tipping point.
It was almost impossible to measure the snow that fell. Most the the snow flakes melted on contact when the storm began. After a while and continued evapourative cooling, the flakes started to accumulate. The total accumulation was more than five centimetres but less than ten. I liked how the snow rested of the bows of the red cedars and spruce. It looked like winter. I had to paint what I saw.
I wanted to respect Earth Day by recording the weather and the beauty of everyday nature. Earth Day needs to be everyday if we are to become better stewards of our Garden of Eden.
The first Earth Day 1970 on April 22nd, 1970 marked the birth of the modern environmental movement. People were becoming aware of the damage being done to the environment. Polluted rivers were actually burning! Writers and scientists were sounding the alarm of the "tragedy of the commons". Rachel Carson's New York Times bestseller "Silent Spring" had been published in 1962 and there were many more books to come. People had to become informed and lead the way. Earth Day started in the United States with Senator Gaylord Nelson but is now Global. It is as important to be informed now as it was in 1970. Understand what "net zero" really means that it is a scam to delay, deceive, and deny the climate crisis. Big business has successfully used the same tactics many times before. https://bulletin.cmos.ca/making-the-weather/

Thank you kindly Sunny. I love to paint snow. Snow is not just white but every colour in the reflection and refraction of sunlight. Snow is always a fun challenge to capture in oils. Thanks!
