Let It Snow


 The snow came early, and soon disappeared, and now its back again. More downy flakes are drifting down as I type. With a foot of snow on the ground, it's a magical world out there. 


I haven't been out much, but hope to get back to walking through the woods soon.
Must see the sights and see and feed the birdies.

A useful tip. Easy to hang artwork:  put a paper clip on the back of masking tape and stick the masking tape on wall and use a magnet to hang a photo or artwork. (Tip I noticed on Instagram or Pinterest.)

My big computer is still out of sorts, so using the iPad. Photos could be sharper. 
Maybe next time all will be in order.
 
Linking to Nicole’s Friday Face Off

                           Not much happening on the art front, although I did draw a few faces.

                  Looking forward to getting busy at the easel in the New Year.
                 The art club has plans for three shows—March, June and September.
                        


                                         Enjoyed getting the cards ready this year. Last year
                       there was a postal strike so, sadly, no cards were sent or received.

            It can be difficult to find good watercolour paper, but I thought I’d try a small watercolour block of 60 sheets of cold press 100% cotton paper from Amazon. 

I drew the Grinch on top of 60 sheets so it was precarious from that height.  I erased a lot, and it didn't damage the paper at all!  You can paint on top of the block and let dry, so no need to flatten later, or remove a sheet and paint on it, of course. The paper is 140lb, so I do not think it will buckle too much if you paint on a single sheet. It will be interesting to see how a full landscape turns out. If all goes well, hen I need a new sketchbook I will order
from Lightwish.

You can check out the watercolour block here 
                                                                  


                The halls are decked and I added a few new ornaments this year, including                                                              this glittering teapot. Definitely fun for tea lovers.

                                              Has anyone tried the new Google button?

                           For those who celebrate Christmas have a very Merry Christmas!

                                      Sending my very Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to all!
