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!
