Northampton Overlook, Snow

This little 6x8 oil was done on a brutally cold, windy day in January 2007. Actually it was an experiment in "car painting", since it was too cold to be outside I sat in the passenger seat and painted. It's a good way to deal with the cold, but I find it really too cramped (having a small car doesn't help). It's something that I'm sure I'll do again, as sometimes the view is just too spectacular but the conditions are too difficult. I'm actually surprised I was able to get as much into this painting as I did, usually the 6x8 sizes are a little too small for me. But I do like this one.
