Here was my view out the passenger side of the car.

"Ice on the Susquehanna", near The Fence



"Ice on the Susquehanna"

5"x7" watercolor on 140# cold pressed paper
Fabriano Artistico Extra white 100% cotton

I stopped on my way home today at the Fence. 
(local riverfront eatery with carhop service, open summers only).
I got a few pictures of the river with a good bit of ice still on it. 
I scared some geese and ducks, but a few came back before I left.

I look left to see this train bridge when I am coming home from Sunbury.
It is at Shikellamy State Park.  Usually,  there is a really nice sunset.

Montour Preserve, Winter Freeze

"Winter Freeze"
5"x7"watercolor
 Fabriano Artistico extra white 140# cold press block

It has been cold here this past week.  The snow is melting a little today, which always happens when Lewisburg puts on its Ice Festival.   Actually it was kind of perfect.  The ice sculptures should last longer than usual this year because another cold front is coming tomorrow.
I am painting snow scenes in my warm kitchen,  looking out on the snow.  The sun is shining.
