OCTOBER 31

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

THAT'S IT

good thing I picked up a few colorful leaves before this early snow storm, that was a very short Autumn

BIRD FEEDER

after the storm yesterday, lots more birds at the feeder today.....I'm still snow in...another full day in the studio, I could dig the car out, but that would give me more distractions from my work...I'm fine being snow in

SNOW IN

woke up to 4 inches of snow,WINTER WONDERLAND, it's over a foot of snow now...finally got a full day in the studio...BLISS

HUNGRY

inspitation shows up in any direction...I'm having fun working on this...also the expectation of eating the reference...I dont usually use color pencils for my quick sketch, but for a tight finish, it's just right

WANDERLUST

being on-the-go seems the only way to deal with the rejection letters, way too many rejection letters this week..another NYC visit...take in as much as I can...my highlight was stopping by Black Hound Patisserie for some treats...Black Hound is on Second Ave & 11 st,NYC...if one cant visit the patisserie of Paris, going to Black Hound is the next best thing

HARVEST

after yesterday's charcoal grey day, it was nice to have a full sunny day...picked up a bunch of fall vegetables at the country farm stand and spend the rest of the day sketching outdoor on my deck...I think this page will go into my book project....COUNTRY NOTES

CHARCOAL

it's official,we got our first snow this morning, took a sunrise hike up the white mountain...chilly,but quite wonderful visually...pastel over charcoal, it's definately a grey charcoal kind of a day, with dashes of pastel pigments here & there
