Oh Baby it's cold outside!
Going out in the woods to paint in the cold snowy weather has always been something I have wanted to try. Some of my favorite artists have all done it so I couldn't come up with an excuse not to.Since we had a beautiful snowfall the day before and the weather was below freezing I knew the snow would be there. I made my way to Sears Island.

I have one thing to say to you: Chemical Hand Warmers! Put one in each boot, in both gloves, your shirt pockets, your hat... toasty warm! (I painted outdoors in 15 degrees and 20 mph wind for two hours!)
Hi
Check out Stapleton Kearnes blog, he has "snowcamp" painting workshops and has listed the best clothes/boots to have to stay warm and paint in the cold.
Best,
Ann
You're brave, Peter!
Amy - Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried one and I will definitely get somemore before trying that again.
Ann- Thanks for the heads up on Stape's snowcamp. If anyone knows how to keep warm it would be him.
Hello Kathy- Not so brave, maybe just a little off the deep end.
