“The Gift” (large painting on the right) and several smaller paintings. “The Gift” is 48″ x 48″. The smaller ones are from a batch of new canvases I stretched and prepared during the holidays.
The ground is snow covered but the light is good for January. Over the past several days Lake Erie started its annual freeze but as of yet it remains unfrozen. The lake becomes sluggish just before it freezes; it moves in slow motion.
Just visible on the right is a large stretcher (40″ x 50″) I intend to stretch tonight.
