February/March

I visited Lincoln, NE recently. This is the overflow area of Holmes Lake - not the area that most people notice. When I showed my sister, Teresa, the area I planned on painting, she commented "Why would you want to paint that?" Hopefully she will see why now that the painting is done.

We got a brief snow. This is my park through my bedroom window. I began this painting last March (different weather), but the light was so perfect on this day, that I grabbed the paints and finished it off as a snow scene. This is the light between 5:30 and 5:45 on Feb. 28.
