There are times when I'd love to have the snow trap me inside.
However, I do have a lot of errands to do and can't do because
of the un-plowed roads and 4" of snow on the ground.
Here are photos of my driveway and deck.
So what should an artistic person do when facing
this situation? Do art, of course. Only my muse
is still on vacation. I did try a pencil sketch of an
old barn, using Prisacolor pencils. The paper was
really rough textured. I had thought it was watercolor
paper, but now I'm not sure what it is. I am joining
my friends at Paint Party Friday and thanking those of
you who visited my blog, especially those who left
comments, during my recent absence of several weeks.
Very sweet!! Nice alternative to all your snow!!!
ReplyDeleteStay warm!
Surrounded by heavenly snow a wonderful artist produces wonderful art in her sheltered hut.

Greetings Elke
This weather is something else, isn't it? Nice sketch. It doesn't really matter what paper you used, it does looks great. Sometimes this winter weather brings out your muse, and sometimes it send them off to warmer climates. I think those muse are smart if they take a little vacation right now. :) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThis has been a winter to remember for sure. We haven't had much snow....so far! But the bitter cold has lasted forever and a so unusual for us.
ReplyDeleteLove your barn sketch... my muse has gone on vacation too so I'm just playing with acrylic pours for now. Easy and thoughtless and comes up with interesting patterns to use later :)
Sorry the now kept you inside. The barn sketch is great. Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh so much snow - we got a lot this noght as well!
ReplyDeleteYeas an artist is always on a journey and travels inside-
A lovely little house - you are a pro to get it so detailed on this rough paper!
Happy PPF - stay safe Faye!
Yes - I am in NC and my yard looks the same as yours. This is a very nice sketch and I like the texture in the paper, you did a great job drawing on it.
ReplyDeleteSnow can be frustrating when you have errands to run, but it sure is pretty! We got a couple of inches too, although it will be melted and gone by the end of today! Love the sketch!
ReplyDeletethat is a lovely sketch of the barn Faye. We got about the same amt. of snow as you did-enough to make it messy! It'll be warming up this weekend and hopefully melt most of it away. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteIt's a cheery little barn! Very nice alternative to snow. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Faye! You made lemonade out of lemons! Love the sketch!

Lovely artwork, Faye. We've had a lot of snow in recent days. It' nice to look at, but it becomes a nightmare when you have to go out. I usually stay indoors.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back, Faye! The snow is beautiful. I'm wondering who left the mysterious tracks behind. :)
ReplyDeletewow Faye, you have a LOT of snow! I like your drawing and the texture of the paper gives it a really nice look!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of snow indeed, Faye. Your barn drawing looks great! Stay warm and have fun!
