Landscape Art

 

I ended and began the year with little landscape art.

They were both done in art journals.

Amazing how long the pencil one above took. 

I had not played with pencils for a long time and found it relaxing and fun to choose colors.

This was painted in a Hahnemuhle 100% cotton watercolor journal. 

I enjoyed working on the paper. These journals are new to the market. 

The best part of each of these landscapes, besides the act of making them, is that I would enjoy wandering into both of them to explore and enjoy.

On New years day I was out feeding the birds. 

They land on a tree near me, chirp when they want nuts, I hold out my hand for them to land

and take a nut/seed away. 

There was another high pitched sound, I looked down to see this little ermine completely curious about me. 

It ran from hole to hole popping its head out to look at me. 

What an exciting experience. 

Happy 2023 to each of you!
