Turned cloudy in the afternoon again with light snow drifting down when I came to the Timothy Road at the entrance of Onanole Trail to paint this view.

Came to Wasagaming after breakfast to stop in front of the visitor cnetre to paint right away. It was mild today but still 20 below. I had to put the tube of Titanium white Winsor Newton oil paint under my arm pit to keep it from being frozen every other few minutes !

<br /><br />We accepted the generous offer from our dear friends to say at their cottage in Onanole area for two nights. This first of the 9 paintings was done right from outside their cottage looking into the wooded area when the late afternoon sun was shining brightly in the otherwise frigid weather.<br /><br />Another view from outside the cottage right before the sunset. It was cold outside but so exciting to paint !Weiming Zhaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15395578511866035045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072257686396399403.post-16649104581394028402017-12-30T20:26:00.000-08:002017-12-31T20:26:39.948-08:00The lone Halfway Tree standing on the road side beckoning travelers on one of the coldest days yesterday at noon hour 6"x 8" oil on canvas panel<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It just happens that we were on our way to Winnipeg Airport yesterday morning to pick up our daughter who is coming home for New Year from Edmonton, and when we spotted the tree in the distance , we pulled over and stopped for five minutes enough time for me to do a small oil sketch to pay tribute to this beloved tree. I always have a small paint box handy. As I was painting , the nerve wrecking sound of the traffic passing by swiftly and rapidly all reminds me that the year is coming to an end , and a new year is coming in just a matter of hours. <br />Happy New Year to You all !Weiming Zhaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15395578511866035045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072257686396399403.post-82095286146564452692017-12-29T20:30:00.000-08:002017-12-31T20:30:46.404-08:00My daily oil sketches for today<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I drove all the way north of the railways tracks to paint and I painted these two quick oil sketches staying inside of my vehicle and listening to CBC Radio 2 classical music program Tempo. While painting these two churches, Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1 , the Winter Dream came to the air. How wonderful and how fitting it was to listen to it while painting these two churches in the frigid winter weather.Weiming Zhaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15395578511866035045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072257686396399403.post-89011531727529856072017-12-27T19:02:00.000-08:002017-12-28T19:02:58.726-08:00Brandon St. Mathew Anglican Cathedral <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was so cold outside today but the light and colour were so enticing! that I bundled up, drove out and found myself at the intersection of 13th Street and Louise Avenue looking at St. Mathew Anglican Cathedral at 2 p.m today. I just love the light and colour at this time of the year, and nothing , absolutely nothing could stop me from painting outdoor!

Christmas Day today at 11 a.m looking out of our window at this frigid but sunny window view. Simply too cold to step outside to paint today. Instead, I set up my easel by our living room window painting and listening to seasonal music on CBC Radio 2 this morning.

Drove around Downtown Brandon at about 3 this afternoon to try to find something interesting to paint. Finally found myself get onto a parking lot off the Pacific Avenue close to the intercession of 11th Street and Pacific Avenue, I was quite captivated by what appeared in front of me; a rather familiar Brandon skyline but appeared so much more interesting when viewed from this unusual point of view.Weiming Zhaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15395578511866035045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072257686396399403.post-90423132921707086392017-12-16T19:25:00.000-08:002017-12-28T19:27:17.021-08:00Three quick oil sketches from Balmoral Bay <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Three quick oil sketches from Balmoral Bay in the south of Brandon.<br />Nothing could be more exciting to see the snow covered landscape in intense winter sunlight. Did these three oil sketches outdoor one after another all together in about three hours. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Came to visit this historic site on Carlton Street in Winnipeg this morning for the very first time. Setting up my easel in the chill of the morning I started to paint at 11 a.m. this beautiful Queen Ann style home built for Sir Hugh John Macdonald , premier of Manitoba in 1899-1900. It was partially cloudy when I started , however, the sun broke out of the clouds to my absolute delight, half way through the painting. Met some staff remembers who work for the museum and, the photo credit goes to one lovely staff remember who came to work this morning and saw me just setting up with the painting.Weiming Zhaohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15395578511866035045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072257686396399403.post-27307735128289477642017-12-04T21:30:00.000-08:002017-12-05T18:39:19.122-08:00Full Moon Winter Sky a view from our bedroom window at night <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
