Safe and Warm - Carolyn A. Pappas

1-12-11, Snow

This is the closest I'm coming to Nature today. I think She would try to kill me if I were to go outside right now! The snow is coming down about 2-3 inches per hour and the wind is about 35 mph. Luckily I don't have to worry about commuting anywhere.

In this sketch I was experimenting with some grayscale markers that I don't use too often. I thought it the perfect opportunity because it is so gray outside right now. Even the pine trees outside look like a weird dark gray, although it is pretty to see the snow swirling around in the wind.

  2. Brilliant use for the gray markers! We've had our share of this weather too. A joy when I don't have to go out in it!

  4. Thanks everybody. It ended up snowing about 18 inches or so, plus a lot of drifting. It is really nice and sunny today.
