I'm sure most of you have either heard of or experienced first-hand the blizzard that slammed the Mid-Atlantic last night and today. While yesterday I heard many complaints about the approaching snow, I for one was very excited because I love painting snow scenes. I started this one yesterday in the late afternoon and completed most of it en
plein air. Painting this on the spot was tricky. When I started there was hardly any snow but after about an hour and a half the wind was driving snow all over my
pallet. Despite the challenges I'm very pleased with the results.

Many times in the wild, when I have come upon ducks they would fly away. Other times, when I was not too close they would just waddle into a thick patch of cattails or grass and hide. I imagined this Pintail sitting among some grasses hiding from someone or something.
