Sunshine and the snow covered peaks of Glacier were just what I needed for a day of inspiration last week! It was a decidedly blue day. Blue skies, snowy blue shadows, blue mountains, and as you can see, a blue ski jacket and blue helmet. I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the next day in my studio I finished painting “Blue Spruce.”
FYI for those of you who, like me, are still a bit fanatical about downhill skiing at certain times of the year, here are the stats:
- 17 Runs
- 22,155 Ski Vertical Feet
- 52.9 mph Top Speed
That’s a nice day in my book!
