Some playtime before....

all hell broke loose around here!

Long story short....we had to get a cabin ready today, which we were planning to get ready tomorrow.....mixed up calendars on our end!!! We moved into action.....the weather has been absolutely disgusting today...there are stronger words to dsicribe my feelings - but suffice to say, i'm not impressed!!!
The water had to be turned on, the heat was off...it was about 2 degrees in there...ovens, heaters and wood stoves on! Then of course the couple heading here couldn't get up the hill! So i headed down to get them....they are here for a week, with cats, food and as we used to say....everything but the kitchen sink!!! They are lovely returning guests....so it was nice to see them! Everyone was in pretty good spirits even altho things were pretty crappy!

This is a rather quick water colour study for another abstract painting, based on this image!
Glad i got to spend sometime with my sketch book!
