Powder Point Bridge Winter Winds

Powder Point Winter Winds
Although for winter, it was a relatively mild forty degrees, the raw winter wind made it feel much colder at the Powder Point Bridge in Duxbury, MA. Bracing against the chill, I didn't spend time on long admiring gazes at the always beautiful Duxbury Bay.   Instead I got right down to the business of mixing the cold,  molasses texture paint.    The color scheme this time of year is greatly influenced by the low angle of the sun, and that translates to gray-blue water, gray-brown bridge, gray-gold grasses, gray-pink sky.   In spite of the lack of chroma, the resulting painting and gray palette seemed especially nice, almost serene.  Morning walkers were not deterred by the cold, moist winds so I had plenty of choices as to who would be painted.   I decided on this couple, a tall man and short woman, kinda' like my husband and me.
