Jack Frost painted the inside of a garage door in Ada on Sunday morning. Cold and snow may be getting old hat by now, but look around and you’ll find exceptional beauty in nature.
Jack Frost “painted” what looks like a wheat field. It’s only temporary, of course. Frost follows in the footsteps of Vincent Van Gogh, who, during his lifetime, painted dozens of wheat fields from The Netherlands to the south of France. Van Gogh’s paintings, not fleeting, are worth millions of dollars each nowadays. This window of “wheat” does bring momentary joy, however...at no cost.
