First Snow in Pullman


This turn out to be my last attempt to paint outdoors this season. It was so cold, especially in the shade. I had to quit painting this piece before completing my fingers under groves lost feeling and I could no longer move them. I was so freezing from my head to toe that it was so hard to even start the car and drive back. It might have helped if I was standing in the sunny side of the building... Or, I should just wait for the weather to get warm again.

"Hair Salon on Sunday"

Hair Salon on Sunday, 6"x8", oil on linen

I was visiting my artist friend Hita on Vashon Island for a weekend, and we painted out her horse ranch. I painted one of Hita's horses getting sponge bath from Hita's daughter, Sarah. It was on a sunny and warm Sunday.
