Mansard House

 I hadn't gotten to do any outdoor sketching for a while, so it was fun to revisit the spooky old house next door to the dentist's office (they send you there if you don't floss).

Rain Walker

A pen and ink sketch from this morning. Walking in the rain and melting snow, saw a lone woman in black silhouetted against the misty background, tried to draw from memory.

New shed in new snow in new sketchbook

 The sun was low in the sky behind the shed, casting the front surfaces into shadow and creating rim lighting around the roof. The snow on the roof, while technically in shadow, had its own luminosity, collecting and reflecting the skylight.
