I love your teaching moments. i've had to pull back from painting since August !! ( due to a broken elbow??!) But you have inspired me so much to attempt just a lil' bit here and there very soon! We're headed back to D.C. this week?!? So we'll hope to survive the "Arctic freeze" and maybe even inspire this West Coast gal to do a few snow paintings because I just love your warmth/lighting and style. stay inside!!
