Winter Marsh 20x30 Oil on Linen alla prima
Painted recently on site in very cold weather. I set up and got into my painting in spite of the cold. I was so engrossed in painting that I hadn't noticed that a group of birders had gathered to watch; not me but a Snowy Owl, out on the marsh about a half mile away. I got to see it as one of the birders offered me his scope. I really never imagined I would get to see one! Very large and solitary. And very white. Day time owl.. Awesome. He isn't in my painting because I couldn't see him without the scope.
