Girl From the North Country

i'm a girl...from the north....country....






where it's cold and snowy in the winter....and it can start early....and last a long long time.

there's a few moments I really love during the winter....(I'm not saying I love winter...I'm just saying...there's some moments...I love about it.) 




those times...where the temp hovers around 34 degrees (F)....and the snow is that perfect stickiness....where snowmen can live...and snow forts can grow taller....and you feel like you can stay outside all day....

and then....there are snowflakes....which I love...perfection with every tiny crystal shape.


I could spend hours...watching them fall...on my hair...on my mittens...on my coat...and watch each different one rest next to another different one....and be mesmerized....

today...I'm sipping some coffee...and munching on chocolate...I just shoveled....our sidewalk...driveway...and 3 other sidewalks and driveways...we call that being a 'sidewalk angel'...for those who never have to shovel...and live in places...that never see snow.

I need to go back out again...it will be snowing all day...but for now...I'm playing with something I've done before....just revisiting....some places are worth going back to....and I feel that after painting a bunch...it would be fun to just.... go back to the beginning...

today..the palette reminds me of earth....and minerals....and maybe....copper patina. 





full length....

and then....another close-up




peace....love...and watching snow falling softly.....in the North Country.
