An hour after I fell asleep last night I awoke and
found the stars had clouded over; so it remained the rest of the night, but I
arose to a thick dusting of snow that had fallen sometime during the night when
I wasn't looking. Coyotes had come by
after the snow had fallen to inspect my campsite; they probably do it every
night. The morning was stupendous, with
sun breaking through wonderful cloud formations all across the landscape, and
with occasional snow showers passing by, sometimes on me; such an interesting
day of cloud watching. I painted the
same view as yesterday, but with the new snowfall. Coyotes yipping to the West while I prepared my
Christmas dinner, on my one burner stove, of smoked Salmon, mushrooms, carrots
corn, onions, peppers, olives broccoli, and cous-cous in a pesto sauce, with
corn tortillas, since Lakeview had no pita at the Safeway. It takes about 20 minutes to get all the
ingredients ready and only 7 or 8 minutes to cook. Most of my camp meals are similar in timing. Could have used a drop of wine to wash it down
with, but didn't even think about it when I was preparing for this sojourn in
the wilds. Got a better look at Venus
tonight while nursing my after dinner hot chocolate, and Mercury is over there
somewhere, not far away, but I haven't spotted it yet (I did a few days later),
and I watched the Moon again until it set at 21:03. I hadn't expected to see any traffic on the
road today, but three cars and a pickup truck passed earlier in the day, and as
I prepared my dinner, an camper pickup
steamed into the campground and set up for the night a few sites away ...
and so to bed after a beautiful day of interesting weather. Imprimatura: Venetian Red. The Pigments used were: Rublev Blue Ridge Yellow Ochre, Italian Burnt
Sienna, with Winsor & Newton Cobalt & Cerulean Blues, Venetian Red, and
Cremnitz White. For more visit www.StevenThorJohanneson.blogspot.com.
