Ai, many thanks for your comments.
Robin, thanks so much. It was fun to sketch the skaters. Luckily the rink isn't too big so I didn't have to wait too long for the skaters to come into view again. I had an account already on Wet Canvas from years ago when we were there. I was able to log in with no problem so I didn't see any questions or a place to put in credit card info. Weren't you also on Wet Canvas before we moved here?
Terri, no plans to rush off unless they close the doors here. It seems more relaxed here so I hope we can continue.
Fletch, thanks. The snowstorms have given me a change in subjects for a while, and even locations that I've sketched/painted so many time in the past look new with the new coat of snow.
This morning we had a little more snow on top of the big snow. I haven't been out yet today...figured I'd wait until the snow stops. Instead I did a still life and then painted the view out the living room window. That never changes but I like capturing it with the snow on top of it. There was a pile of snow on the patio railing that was about a foot high. It was starting to sag when I started sketching and then a big part of it just slid off the railing. I guess it was my own little avalanche.
