Yes, I live in the Great White North, in Canada to be exact.   Where I live it is not exactly tundra, polar bears and ice floes, but it is cold half the time of the year.  I live about 150 km north of Toronto which is described as Southern Ontario.  My mother-in-law used to say that we moved  "north".  Don't tell people north of us that we live in the north.  It is colder and the weather more brutal there.  

All that brings to the subject of painting winter scenes.  I don't do a lot, but the ones I do bring me some joy.  They are truly representative of the world I live in part of the time.  Yet when you look at my portfolio, the vast number of paintings are summer or autumn scenes. Rarely winter.  

Something inside of me resists doing winter paintings, but I am warming up to them.
