Fellow painter, Cietha, and I braved the cold morning and painted in the community park. We walked around for about 30 minutes and then just set up and painted. Awkward as heck, big coat, gloves etc but we managed. This was no way near the cold of painters of snow like Aldro Hibbard and the like endured for their paintings but the stress was there. I think it helped to be a little uncomfortable and hopefully the urgency shows. Sure couldn't get fussy. 8 x 8 inches oil on lead prime linen panel and is offered (auction) at DailyPaintWorks. here
