| I'm making sure the birds are well fed. |

| There's Bruno inside, having his hay. |
 |
| The pond is frozen solid. |
 |
| The lad is staying warm, with 2 padded blankets, and lots of hay. |

| I thought I'd try a painting of this, NOT that I like the snow, but the grasses do make an interesting and complex composition. |

| Out for a quick walk with the dog. WOW, was it cold!!! Our weather has suddenly become most un-Vancouver-like. Out in the countryside, we've had temperatures down to -7C at night, and it feels much colder ... you know, the sort of cold that freezes the inside of your nose. And we've had a fair bit of snow over the past 3 days, about 8 inches. So that means no riding, just stuffing Bruno full of hay, and making sure he has warm water [carried from the house]. If horses do not have potable water, they could develop an impaction in the colon, colic, and possibly die - serious business! All this means I am also getting on with Buddy's portrait. And I am going through my photo reference to find some flowers with HOT colors! |
I've finished "mapping" the colors of his face, and am starting in with the blacks. As always, all your comments are so very welcome!
