We are having our first significant snow storm today and it is really blowing and cold . . . burrrrrrrr! Not used to the cold temperatures. The weather has been fairly warm for this time of the year with temps running about 40 to 45 degrees. It sure is beautiful outside my studio window; snow blowing and pretty winter birds fluttering about the feeders.

I finished a painting this morning titled "first snow fall," with a pair of cardinals on a snow covered spruce branch which is for my best friend's aunt as a surprise birthday present.

Enjoy!
