Daily Painting #169 -- Mather Home and a Pochade!

Another winter night scene for you today. Unfortunately, I can never catch this one with snow. They're so quick to clear the snow! It's at a retirement community... might have a little to do with it? Either way, the reflections and lighting more than make up for it! Just a great scene!

I sort of hit a rut the last little bit. Really needed a change of pace. So I took a few days off from the easel. Here's the result... A new pochade box! (About 12 x7" made from a wine box) I keep meaning to do more sketching in the field, but the thought of lugging my supplies around usually puts me off or keeps me close to the car. With a little luck this will help break the cycle. Have to admit I really enjoyed building this. I don't have a router, so I had to get a bit creative to get the mast to work. But it was really refreshing to think in different terms. Cant wait to get it dirty!
