We have been experiencing an unusual string of warmer days.  The warmer air is melting our snowpack and contributing moisture to the atmosphere resulting in gray and foggy days.  Such was the case today.  This cold saturated air is bedecking everything as if to prolong the Christmas season.  The trees this morning were wonderfully sugar coated.  I adjusted my schedule to allow myself the opportunity to commit to canvas some of the beauty I experienced.

It really clears the head to see all of nature arrayed in such a wonderfully odd way.  The ordinary becomes totally fascinating.  God's design in trees and shrubs, contrasted against the steel gray sky lifted me to the acclamation...how great Thou art!  The structure of the trees was like fine lace that revealed His love for art.

Me, I was just bumbling along.  That icy air started to interrupt my peace and I unfortunately began to get a bit reckless in my race to climb back into my car's interior and enjoy the creation from there.  Thankfully I did manage to get more paint on my canvas than in my car, but it was close.
