#2472 "Singleton Pioneer Shed"

A winter storm was on the way in mid February. The forecast was for 25 to 35 centimetres of fresh snow. That would be enough to use the snowblower on the tractor for the first time of the winter season. 

The sky was overcast altostratus and it was only a matter of time before the snow started to fall. There were many colours in the snow even under the cloudy and dull skies. 

The Singleton pioneers were smart. They built their structures on the high and dry ridges and used the drainage valleys were there was still some soil, for crops. This is a smaller shed located beside the one stall, milking barn. The roof was still intact on this shed. It was also a newer structure than the barn with concrete footings and wide pine boards for siding. The roof on the main barn had sadly caved in a few years before.

There was a large crevice in the marble ridge and the rabbits were using it for a warren. There were rabbit tracks and marbles everywhere. I put a couple of those bunny trails into the painting. 

The northeasterly breeze of the cold conveyor belt picked up at about the same time that the snow started to fall. It was a good time to call the painting "done". The snow started to fall as I headed back to the Singleton Studio. I was using the portable Kubota Studio again.
