I understand that I have already confused readers with respect to my thoughts on beef cattle once this month. Although this post offers an excellent opportunity to further cement my reputation as an eccentric, I believe I’ll pass.

Yeah, I agree, he’s more northern Michigan. My hat would be off to him but it’s too cold to part with it.

Either he’s a Northerner or he’s Money reincarnated. Doesn’t the paint freeze? I need to ask my painter husband.

Dollars to doughnuts you meant “Monet,” but on the off-chance that you were making a subtler point that eluded me . . .
He probably has a tiny battery-operated warming tray that attaches to the easel. Or maybe one of those propane-powered handwarmers we used to have in Wisconsin.

Anything for your art, I guess….more power to him/her! 🙂

I don’t think winter painting is for me as I even think twice about clicking a camera when it gets too cold. I wonder how the cold temperature affects the fluidity of the acrylic or oil paint.
