I'm slowly inching my way into winter. Trying to put if off as long as possible, though it snowed a little farther north last night and we may have some over the weekend.
This painting relaxes me with it's simplicity and colors. It was a beautiful winter day up in Dixville Notch where the first vote in the nation is cast. The voting booth is in the elegant Balsam's Hotel and I was fortunate to spend a weekend at the hotel on a painting trip.
Painting during the winter offers it's own challenges. As I use mostly acrylics, the fast drying time becomes an issue. I've learned to work with the medium by spraying the paints frequently with a mist of water. You need to have a clear plan before you start painting as well so that you can work quickly.
