Not sure what I think of this one. It was great having a warm plus 6 day with no wind. Someone was shooting in distance though which terrified the pup. 😢

Tonights quick sketch - a whippet. I’ve always loved the streamlined and elegant shape of these dogs and thought it would be a good muse for tonight’s sketch.

Plein air painting done today; country road mix of sun and gravel rising up hills and with bunches of trees framing along with bright sunny snow and shadow.
What a beautiful day! Out for a plein air painting north of Edmonton in a heavy sweater and warm as could be the whole time! Plus 8 yet again. Started a bit late so was chasing the light and trying to stay upright on the ice.
