There’s a light dusting of snow on the green grass, and there are some very strong gusts of wind. Perfect studio weather! I’m going to think more about my note cards, matted prints, and do some work on sunflower drawings. Hope everybody stays warm! Better weather is on deck for tomorrow.

It was a very beautiful day here in Bowman, with thick white frost coating the trees, a bright blue sky, and sparkling snow all around. Thought I’d gather some images from the yard for you.
