Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, “I’m going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that’s tough. I am going to snow anyway.” – Maya Angelou

We’re having freaky weather in Portland. I don’t remember it snowing this hard since I was a little girl up on Pill Hill. Here’s a picture of my snowed in studio. I had to rescue the eucalyptus tree. Every single leaf had an ice twin attached. It bounced back a little.

I love all the soft white and contrast against other colors. I’m sure this is going to show up sometime in my painting!
