Scarper of the sun before spring.

A landscape created in haste, as a freezing cold set in the very next day after the first rays of sun reached the land in 2025.

After a surprisingly sunny and warm first en plein air expedition of the year, a bitter cold arrived the very next day. Struggling to stay warm, I abandoned the painting process rather quickly. My favourite oil paints turned to hardened lumps of butter that I struggled to command, with the fingertips of my hands and feet mercilessly losing sensation. Local cats stopped by in turn, to observe my failing efforts of capturing this naked vegetation by a partially frozen ditch, in the Jelgava municipality of Latvia.
