I hate cold! Yet, I don't mind to freeze to death if I can see the northern light and feel the piercing air into my lungs. I had a worst experience on the night train without heater during traveling northern Japan Hokkaido. My can of Coke was frozen by the morning so since then being cold is my worst nightmare. Well then again, why not pay a visit to the Arctic Circle if I can experience the sight of striking colors all around. Yes, I have to jump in the cold even I might die up there!
At first my initial idea was paint a lots of snow but I has such a hard time deciding whether I should paint the snow or not. But at the end I decided not to as the painting looks cold enough without it!

I love when I see the sun light through my window in the morning. The beginning of a new day feeling refreshed. Living in southern California I get this blinding sun light pretty much all year round, lucky me! I enjoyed painting this piece although it end up a little bit messy as I've been relying too much  on my drawing but I forced myself to be more free and relaxed on this one. It always gets messy when I start doing something new as I don't know what to expect around the corner. At least I tried hoping the feeling would be there that I try to achieve.
On to a next piece!
