Reports on the news were all about snowstorms, power outtages, etc. Here in Eastport, the sun came out, turning my still life setup a mish-mosh of bright light and stark shadows. I was tempted to throw my gear into the truck and go plein air painting, but it’s bitterly cold. Instead, I wimped out and took a long lunch break. How’d you like to try to paint this?

Eventually the sun moved a bit and I could see some sense to things. I love this tablecloth, but boy — it’s a bitch!
