Snow in Memphis

I have been under the weather this past week, but felt well enough today to make a quick study of the snow at Overton Park.

Margaret had given me some handwarmers for Christmas and they were very much needed. Even with the handwarmers at 20° Fahrenheit I could barely feel my fingers after a while. Here is about where I ended up with the study:

When I return to my studio, I decided to make a larger version, referencing my photographs. Here is the block in, I may go back on site tomorrow if the weather is similar.

I made the preliminary drawing in acrylic, so no solvent fumes.

We’ll see where this one goes!
