Snow in February

Last month’s snow was a gift to landscape painters. As I have been painting outside throughout the winter, it was good to see a snowy landscape at last.
This is my typical set up when painting out on location. I use a half box French easel to hold the small boards or larger canvases. The drawer of the easel stores my paints and the folding palette fits on top of the open drawer.
Everything I need – boards, brushes, palette knives, thinners, rags, storage box for wet paintings and, most importantly, my lunch – goes in the bag.
