Digging Out of the Frozen South

Atypical weather for South Carolina. We have had some extremely long bouts of cold temps. This challenge in my studio, which according to my standards was a deep freeze, made me all the more appreciative of the issues of my forerunners. I am spoiled by central air, and automatic heat. While the paint was hardening on the palette due to the cold, I thought, how did they do it? How did they paint without heat, how did they keep their focus? I am in awe of them! I bow down to them! They are my heroes! If they could create beauty in those conditions, I can do it!
