[For Coraline Gray]
It was perhaps too chilly to be painting outdoors, but Alaric was never one to shirk his work for the sake of comfort. As long as the paints didn't freeze, he would be out and about completing his commissions and personal projects. His livelihood depended on it. Most of his patrons would not take frostbite as a reason for a late project.
Because of the cold, the town square was not as crowded as it normally would be at that hour of the day, and Alaric thanked the lucky feather in his hat for the lack of people. There was nothing more tedious than trying to paint when people kept bumping into his freshly painted canvas, after all! He could at least work in peace while he got the foundations of the piece going.
When he got to a good stopping point, he set his brush down and took a few steps back from the painting and studied it to see what needed doing as he blew warm air onto his fingers.
