“Signs point to higher elevation snow on Thursday”

WHITE MOUNTAIN - Sold!

“Signs point to higher elevation snow on Thursday” WHAT?!*+?

Because I was on site at my solo exhibition this weekend, I invited some Gallery owners to look at my work and select what they would like to have on their walls for the busy season. I had some good comments, because as they were at Art Walk anyway, it made their job easy. I conducted tours around my exhibition explaining motivation and process and it felt very professional. Frida, Flying High and some of my Bob Ross paintings were favorites.

At one point I was discussing the holiday season with an owner and we both agreed the buying season and in fact winter, will come early this year. Then I read the long weather forecast this morning and saw the above headline. As soon as snow appears on the tips of our mountains, seasonal buying starts in ernest, so if you don’t have your best work in galleries in the next week or so, you may miss the boat. Last year almost all buying took place in October/November and there was no crazy rush in December. Get your skates on!

It started slowly with the odd yellow leaf which I thought may be pollution stress from the smoke, but now there are large chunks of yellow in my view. Even on my distant mountain vignette I see a distinct change in color. The weather has been beautiful the last couple of days, but I’m booking my winter tire changeover for the last week of September.
