Snowman in the gray felt hat.

 There's a new lawman in these parts.

 

 Pop's old hat scarf and pipe.

 

It's not Waldo, just someone who shares his passion for red and white stripes.

 Alone in the gathering twilight with just the sound of the wind through the tops of the pines.

We're in for some wintry weather.

Maybe he'll be a bit less abominable now that he's made a friend.

Winter's Delights

Last winter we didn't have a lot of snow but there's no denying that winter offers some unique delights.

Gearing up for another season of snowmen.

Big Batch

These were all painted over the December 2nd to 4th weekend. I spent the weekend with friends and during the day we worked on their family's Christmas tree farm in western New Jersey. Folks come and pick out Christmas trees and then we cut them down, net them and tie them atop their cars. Even if the weather is cold I love spending the time outdoors, the farm has an incredible view of a valley that makes me think of Wyeth paintings.
