After about a month of talking about it, and complaining about not being able to do it, I finally made it happen. I set up on a patch of frozen creek, which allowed me great access to the scene, but it also led to me stepping in the creek unwittingly when stepping back to survey my painting. This made me wet and cold sooner than I had hoped, forcing me to cut my session short. Other than this small inconvenience, it was a great experience! I've painted snowy scenes in the studio before, but actually seeing in person all the colors that a blanket of snow reflects is what I was looking for. Plus, I had some friends hanging out with me as I painted (the ducks).
