I have always liked the sweep of lines in this one, the energy and definite chill and

cold freshness of winter it gives. An invigorating remembrance of a sleigh ride in

Canada when I was very little, we were visiting my Nana's family dairy farm. Biggest

 snowflakes I'd ever seen. Dad wore a black bear skin coat. Our legs were covered

 with a blanket. It was so cold but it was wonderful! It's a memory that will stay with 

me forever.

Yesterday I joined in the fun and worthy cause of the ALS ice water bucket challenge. It was invigorating and refreshing actually on such a hot day as we had in Oklahoma- fact is these are the dog days of August, it's going to be hot, hot, hot for days to come. So in keeping with a cool idea, ice bucket/cold and chilly, I am sharing an early and first of a series, the Seasonal series, a frosty cold acrylic named "Wintertime (the Sleigh horse)". This painting stems from a memory of a sleigh ride in deep, very cold winter in Quebec, Canada at a family dairy farm. It was bitter cold, and snowing, biggest flakes I'd ever seen. Enjoy, and I hope this cools you if you are in a hot climate area like I am!
