A window view at noon

Backyard without snow

Full moon night at midnight before the full lunar eclipse

Facing the last light of the day

Doing dishes after supper

Sunday morning in front of our house on Balmoral Bay

What a beautiful Sunday morning when the fresh fallen snow on the roof glistened against a azure sky !    I could feel the presence of spring despite the subzero temperature when I did this oil sketch in front of our house on Balmoral Bay this morning.

A quick oil sketch of Fengping cooking supper today

After a heavy snow fall in the morning on Balmoral Bay

Quiet back alley

I could feel the draft of cold air on my back as I was painting this view late in the afternoon. Snow was on its way again. 

When the last light was shining on hedges and remaining patches of icy snow

You know that spring is here when patches of snow are giving way to patches of green grass in your backyard. This is what I saw  at 7 p.m this evening through  our kitchen window.

Across the street on Balmoral Bay

With  the last sunlight on the houses across the street and with most of the snow gone and translated into puddles of water, I finally could sense the presence of spring while standing there painting this view at the end of our driveway late in the afternoon.

Light and shadow at noon

Painting this window view while listing to Glenn Gould's performance of Bach's Goldberg Variations over CBC Radio 2  is a heavenly experience !
