Snow Plein Air & Solstice

We got snow!

So of course I had to go out and paint.

However, it's also Saturday in the middle of holiday mayhem here... so I wanted to avoid that.

I haven't been to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens for a while so I went there.

Here is a quick painting in the Cherry Esplanade, 8x10 oil

It was quiet in the gardens, only a few people were there which was perfect.

Today is also the solstice, the longest night.

Normally I'd go to St Patricks and light candles, but it's Saturday which means insane crowds and I can't face it.

So this year I just lit a candle at home.
