That After Shot of the Kitchen and February Pin up

After shot. Note the snow outside. When I wrote this entry

After- Faucet Light Water Yeah!

Snow outside.

it was 0 degrees out at 5 pm. Plus winter storm warnings. Winter in the Adirondacks.  Looking to be shoveling on Sunday.

Heading to breakfast with Santa at the Adirondack Carousel this morning with my grandgirl Isabella. After breakfast it is back to work with my open house. Studio Hours 11- 5 today.

The February calendar painting:  "A Day Better Than This?"
This painting, 10x21, was made in June 2013 at the Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club. The day was a day with in and out clouds. There were about 50 or more artists here at this location for the Publishers Invitational of Plein Air magazine organized by Eric Rhoads.  My notion of plein air is I am not a camera. Though there where plenty of folks and easels out on that little ridge, I can choose not to have them in the painting. Like ignoring the power lines in other venues (Yes let's bury those.)

"A Day Better Than This?" 10x22 February Calendar Pic

"A Day Better Than This?"is available at the Adirondack Artists Guild in Saranac Lake or at my website: dianeleifheit.com.

The painting is framed with museum glass, a linen liner and a deep chestnut color frame.
Museum glass is an amazing piece of glazing, totally see through without glare. the beauty of the painting is there for all to see. Cost a pretty penny but so worth it.
