The storm has calmed down to day, monday. But it is snowing slowly. I took my morning promenade in ca -3 degrees C weather when the snow was falling down. It was very nice. Now I can sit down and blog with you. I did this sketch before I went out, stood in my study and sketched through the window. It was too cold for me to go out and draw. I sketched quickly the apple tree and behind it you see the greenhouse of glass which now is not green at all and behind it there is a little storage for the garden tools. And behind them there are trees, mostly birches and spruces, but also pines, ashes, goat willows a s o.
Sketched it with ink pen on Fabriano sketch per Artisti 90 g/m2 -paper, size 21x29,7 cm and with a little watercolor.
wow i would like to live near a forest sirrka. This is a very serene sketch. Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteElisa, it is much interesting to live near the nature. there is alwaus something to see. Thank you!
DeleteLooks like you have a lovely and interesting garden, even in the Winter months. Delightful painting :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann! I think so, of course:) In the winter i have many birds to see, squirrels visit the food place too and wild animals as deers visit too. Yet I am not far from neighbours and I can take the car and reach affairs in 5 - 10 minutes if it is needed.
DeleteYour garden looks like the type of place I would like to be sketching. Lovely view!
ReplyDeleteJoan, I think you would like to sketch here too:) Thank you!
DeleteIt's lovely, even in winter.
ReplyDeleteMelisa, thank you. Every season has its charm. The winter is a resting time for the nature. Then we are very happy, when the spring is coming, and the summer with warmth and sunshine.
DeleteHi Sirkka. Oh, I love where you live. That is quite a sketch. It is beautiful and you've put your soul into it. Happy day to you, excellent work. Again I love where you live.
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria, thanks so much. It is kind of you. Happy week to you. It is time for me to go to sleep. Good night!
DeleteYour lovely painting really shows the feeling of the cold, with your subtle use of colours. It's nice to see the 'working part' of a garden, not just the pretty flowers. How great to have a forest in your garden, I wonder if the forest creatures come out sometimes to visit you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jez! Yes, we don´t have any flowers outside yet. And the working part is a very useful part of a garen. And I can say, the forest creatures come to visit, deers, hares, birds in wintertime. More in the summer.
