Description
At 4 pm on Tuesday February 20th, 2007, I headed back to the middle paddock and decided to paint looking northwestward. This line of trees has always interested me. It looks like a forest from some angles but to the northwest it is simply a single file line of trees. One can also see through the forest on the south side of the pond. The wetland in behind this screen of trees is alive with nature. The snow shows between the trees at this time of year. The southwesterly winds were blowing the stratus around into elongated tails. Virga was falling from a higher deck of altostratus. The temperature was a mild plus 4 Celsius but every now again the wind would penetrate to the top of the hill and it was rather chilly. I figured out that I can take the cold when doing plein air but I can't take both the wind and the cold. The paints were really a thick butter in texture and fun to work with.

The cinnamon roll hill with its piped snow frosting warms the cool blueberry forest as it moves towards the distant 'see through forest', perfectly Phil!
Phil Chadwick replied:
Your comments Susan often make me stop and think and appreciate how astute your observations are. They open me up to things I painted but didn't observe. Your food motif is appropriate. I see the cinnamon rolls with the blueberry topping. It's obvious when someone as clever as you points it out. Thank you Susan.
