Yes I really did paint outdoors this February morning with my plein air group from the Rum River Art Center (Anoka, MN) using my oil paints. Not sure of the temp but it was in the teens; the high for today will only be 28 degrees with snow coming in late afternoon. It was calm out, no frigid wind blowing to make it intolerable. We dressed warm and had a building we could warm up in. It was great fun and only my toes complained a bit about the cold, otherwise no problems except trying to open tubes of paint with gloved hands. Now I can say I've painted outdoors in a Minnesota winter, I'm truly a plein air painter! I even like my little painting.
