Clayton meanwhile is continuing to paint. He is finishing up the winter landscape behind a horse portrait. This is, of course, problematic in keeping fingers warm while painting in temperatures that give the fields a coat of frost creating that green almost blue grey in the shadows cast by the rising sun. Hand-warmers are helpful, but they don’t cover his exposed fingertips. However Clayton has never truly minded the cold, so he lasts for a couple of hours on the days when the cant of sunlight is consistent with his painting.
