Yesterday we had a very early snowstorm that made a mess of roads and commutes for many people in the tri-state area. Nobody expected it to hit as hard as it did. It took some people 6 hrs to do a ride home that usually takes less than one. Luckily I was home and didn't have to go anywhere. It was pretty when it was coming down if you were inside...or peeking outside like me.
I guess I was a little too late when I went out this morning because there was barely any snow anywhere. It had fallen off all the trees and the only place there was snow was in small piles on the ground. I looked for a spot to sit and paint and surprisingly enough there was still some autumn color that wasn't killed by the snowstorm. This was done by the Islip Grange in Sayville.
Nice! The beautiful colors in your sketch reminds us that fall is still the season. That surprise snow fall came fast and heavy! Winter is coming.
ReplyDeleteBrrr....we had a taste of it today sketching outside in Brooklyn.Thanks.
DeleteGlad you were home safe when the storm hit! And leave it to you to find whatever color there is! :-)

Thanks. You know me I keep searching for color.
DeleteToo bad you didn't get more snow in the sketch but I am sure you will gets lots before the winter is over. Nice colours in this one Joan!
ReplyDeleteVal, thanks. We ended up with quite a bit more than we expected...maybe a few inches. It looked so pretty and then it was gone so quickly.
DeleteJoan, lovely sketch. Your snow was like we get in Bastrop every 5 years or so. Quick and then gone! Nice for me.
