Painting in the Winter

Typically during the cold winters here in PA we don’t get to paint much. The temperatures drop to record lows making the paint freeze and it nearly impossible for the ponies to put their brushes to canvas. But, sometimes we luck out and get a day that isn’t too unbearable and that’s just what happened yesterday. With temperatures in the mid 40’s on Sunday, Minnow was so ecstatic when he saw me lugging his easel out of storage.

We dusted off the brushes and Minnow set to work creating a bunch of mini paintings to bring with us to the Horse World Expo this February.

Minnow has no problem letting the creative brush strokes flow in the winter, in fact he’d paint everyday and all day if I let him.

No, instead what sets the schedule for our winter painting sessions are my hands. We paint as long as I can bare it before my fingers feel like I might be getting frostbite.

In the end I’m happy to let my wonderful little pony wield his magical brush so that I get to see his finest creations.

And sometimes the “aftermath” is just as beautiful too.

And as if my approval of Minnow’s beautiful work weren’t enough – he always seems to draw his own little fan club when he paints…
