Well it is the weekend and I've been waiting to get some time to finish off this painting I started last weekend. I was so tired from work I couldn't get to it. I know a violin is playing in the background right now. This is the farm next to the one I walk. There is a foot of snow on the ground right now so it is obvious that I use photos to capture the moment and then use the photos later for painting. This was executed in watercolor. I wanted to do this scene to relay the white clouds in a blue sky over green fields.

Here in central New York there are many days of overcast, so when sunny days like this come along it has an uplifting effect on my spirits. By the way central New York has dairy farms.

I got up at 5:30 (my usual time) and took the dog out for a wiz, and then jumped into painting. The house is quiet at that time of the day, and I can get things done with out any distractions.
