the real deal?

we’ve had a few false starts to winter this year. but now the lakes are frozen over, and the snow started falling this afternoon and is supposed to keep up all night. this one feels like the real deal. if so, that means at least four months until my environment wakes up again and color returns. fortunately i stashed quite a bit of fall and autumn away in my studio and they’ll be waiting there, ready to serve, on those occasional winter mornings when none of us can handle another subtle composition of muted grays. here we go. you with me?
