[George Lucas, Ready for the Snow (2016). Click for a larger view.]

This oil painting has circulated online without attribution. But the painter isn’t “the Internet”: it’s George Lucas, of Gaithersburg, Maryland. And the painting’s title isn’t Snow Predicted. Here’s the story of Ready for the Snow.

Yes, it’s snowing in downstate Illinois.
