Winter Plein Air
The challenges of painting plein air are great enough during the best of conditions, but in the winter, you gotta be a real sucker for punishment. There is one nice part though...you don't decide when your painting is finished - the frost bite does.

I think they turned out great! love the hot accents on the first one.
oh man that looks cold. i've always wanted to try plein air painting in the snow. . . but in California it takes a bit of trip to get to it.
good job.
Hopefully you didn't do this in the last couple of days... Man that's cold!! Nice work my friend.
Thanks guys,
Rawls - the top one was done this past Wednesday (the painting is sitting here in front of me, and is still wet!) But it was only 0 degrees on Wednesday, so it was fine for about 30 minutes.
Jason - Snow is incredibly fun to paint. Its local value makes for easy comparisons, and fun design opportunities. Definitely worth bringing your plein air gear if you ever go on a trip to a colder climate.
Looks like a lot of fun. Your snow colors are great.

And thank u for your valuable comments
Man you got it with colors - really beautyfull.
PS Brrr looks so cold, hard job!
Geez, you're insane! Awesome stuff!
Marco, wow.. you guys are hard core! I love the evergreen with the snow on it.. very nice. It's funny how the paint gets thick when it's cold eh?
I second Mike, you are hard core for being out in that cold, but nice work! Do you know of Collin Page's work in the New England area? He just published a book through Blurb.
Hey Mike,
Yeah, seems like after about 10 minutes the paint starts resembling wet cement. Gotta load up on the medium!
David - Hmmm, no I haven't heard of Collin Page at all. I will look him up, thanks!
What medium do you use for painting in the snow?
I love it!! :)
