O wind,
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

brrr. . . just looking at this picture makes me feel cold. But I keep trying to remember that (according to the groundhog) there are only six more weeks of winter. 🙂
It makes me feel cold, too, Sheryl! Groundhog Day seems to mark the half-way point of winter, but somehow, this year it seems winter has not yet arrived. Only two snowstorms so far! 🙂
Love the painting! One can both see and feel the wind and the cold.
It’s amazing how well an artist can pull us into a world and make us feel the cold!
The painting reminds me of a few winters ago when farmers stupidly left their sheep out in really bad blizzards – a lot died. But it’s a beautiful painting.
That’s so awful! With the kind of weather forecasting we have these days there is no longer any excuse for farmers leaving their sheep out in a blizzard. In the past I bet there were often times shepherds were caught by surprise when a blizzard arrived, but at least the one in this painting seems to be trying to gather his sheep home.
Amazing painting … cold and ‘lost’ portrayed with few colours!
Amazing, indeed! We can see why sheep grow such warm winter coats!
