Watercolor Wednesday: The stark cold of winter

The polar vortex is hitting the Midwest of America today in force. Schools are cancelled, community events postponed, and even the mail is not being delivered. “Baby, it’s cold out there” is an understatement. Here in the UK, some have enjoyed snow, and some only a dusting (like me in North London). Enjoyed, of course, might be the wrong word if you’re caught in the closure on the M25 or in traffic in other places.

What do you feel about the winter and the colder temperatures and snow? What activities do you engage with on a snow day?

Take a few minutes to walk, with your imagination, into this stark scene painted by my father. Are you viewing it out of a window, or are you there? Who is with you? What do you feel?
