Big Paintings In The Basement Studio

So I went down to the studio in the basement to retrieve something, and it was so cozy and snug that I decided to move the new painting down there and work on it and one other large one I've been neglecting. The cat spent the entire 1-1/2-hour session harassing me with his whiny meowing insistence that I leave; once I finally did, he promptly fell asleep on the living room couch. I should sneak down to the studio while he's napping.

Anyway, here's what I got done:

It snowed last night, though we only got less than an inch. The wind is up today, sounding fierce as it blows through the treetops. It's a good day to stay inside and paint. I've got soup on the stove, the birds have been fed, and there's a new episode of "The Big Bang Theory" on tonight. Meanwhile, back to work while the cat sleeps...
