This was a winter plein air experience to remember! It was so cold, setup, painting and pack up all happened within an hour. By the end the paint started freezing - forming grains like coarse sand on the painting surface. I have 6 short video clips of that morning on my Face Book wall if you care to take a look.
I call this painting "Coyotes Howling." Half way in, 3 packs of Coyotes started howling all around me. They were not visible, and since humans aren't on the coyotes preferred dinner menu I was in no danger. Had it been a Grizzly or Cougar, I would probably have had a slightly shorter painting experience.
I would say the biggest challenge an artist faces is knowing when to stop. In this case, the decision was made for me... now how can I make this decision in every situation?!
