Part 1 of the 2-part Cable Easel episode "First Long Island Snowfall", a palette knife landscape episode, in which Pat takes us through the steps of landscape composition, layout and interpretation using this textural technique, with the occasional stream-of-consciousness foray into more universal life and world issues. Patricia Windrow’s award-winning series "The Cable Easel" (1979 - 1994: Local ACE award, the 1990 12th Annual National Academy of Cable Programming competition for Best Informational/Demonstrational Series; winner, the 1989 National Federation of Local Cable Programmers Hometown Video Festival) – digitized so new generations of artists can learn from her charm, infectious humor, expertise, contagious enthusiasm and unique instructional gifts. Patricia was a serious professional artist whose mass media mission was to dispel notions such as house painting brushes being perfectly acceptable tools for fine art, or that such art could be completed in half an hour: she gave us the straight dope on painting, unmarred by the slick varnish of pretense.
