Winter's Inspiration

So.. Yesterday amidst the deluge of snow blanketing our neck of the woods, i decided to give painting a go.  I fired up the inadequate space heater and committed myself to the garage and tried my best to put down on paper what i thought might be a new style for me.  I hoped to try a new color palette this time.  My wife the inspiration that she is practically shoved me out the door.  She knows that when i paint i get something out and thats what i need more than anything.  To get something out.

I will post a work in progress picture today at some point.  I also will post a video of what it looked like outside when i was working in the garage.  Thanks for keeping up with me i do appreciate it.
