Winter, its white out
This afternoon a strong northwind brought 3 inches of snow all over Oslo. Our son and two middle grandsons, 14 and 12, gathered up the carpet of leaves that pretty much covered our lawn—just in time. I’m reading Andrew Wyeth’s biography with a lot of his works pictured and am amazed at how genes pass from generation to the next. Two of his 5 siblings are artists also, or maybe were—Andrew is 89 and the youngest. I don’t know if he’s still painting, or even if he’s living, but I’ve never read otherwise.
The book inspired me to dig out my oils and work on a 16 by 20 of white daffodils that I started a long time ago. I’ve tried watercolors, but can’t. He only does this or tempera.
