Thirty Below Sunrise (oil on canvas, 2007)


I went out for a run one morning in January and it was so cold (30 below zero with the wind chill) that the fluid in my eyes (the only part of my body that was exposed) froze before I got half a mile from my house. This was unbelievably painful. I had to walk back with my hands over my eyes. So, I capitulated and went out drawing instead and did a colored pencil drawing which became the impetus for this painting.

Frank, this is off topic, but you can run when its 30 below, just wear a ski mask to protect your eyes. robinm
