winter light - 12x9"

I wasn't going to post this until it was completed but I have been rushing around all day and cooking. I am leaving for NY to visit my dad tomorrow so won't be be able to paint or post for a couple of days. My sisters and I have been trying to make our specialties in large batches when we visit so he can freeze them and not have to worry about cooking - I am bringing beef stew and kale soup. I might get to paint a little later, we shall see. Anyway, the background of this picture is beginning to emerge.........I have redrawn it once already.
