White out




The south of England grinds to a halt under 3" of snow-how do they cope in Europe, or Russia? Or as one woman interviewed in Yorkshire wryly commented on the news "It's winter-what do those people 'down south' expect, this is normal up here".
Yes, we from the north are made of sterner stuff!
Stayed at home as my art class was cancelled, and painted and sketched out ideas. It was warmer in the studio than in the house. Did some sketching in town at the weekend of the scurrying figures and reflections. If the snow continues, I may brave the fields tomorrow.Saw some lovely paintings of winter on a blog called The Blue Lantern-an artist called William Degouve-never heard of him!
