Hello – and a belated Happy New Year! I’ve just come indoors from my first drawing expedition into the garden. I know that’s overstating it, but I do carry so much stuff down from the studio, it feels like I’m going to the North Pole! Weather bright and sunny after a flurry of snow – not like the painted sketches I did last year (or was it the year before?), but certainly, it was chilly! I went down to the pond, where I discovered our first snowdrops. I used large paper and pastel for a change. Here are my drawings and photos from today along with a couple of studies of the garden in oil when the snow came down properly!:

Thanks so much – I love to go out and draw when it’s cold – Lord alone knows why! I’m such a wimp though as I can retreat to the warm very quickly from the garden! 🙂

You’re absolutely right! It’s a different proposition altogether in a country that really knows what ‘cold’ is… and we don’t have the threat of bears here. It’s a walk in the park by comparison. 🙂

It certainly seems to be shaping up that way, Sheree. I bet it’s just right for riding the bike where you are – Very slippery round here! Thanks for lovely comment, glad you like the paintings, Happy New Year to you and all at Velovoices 🙂
