Yesterday was Sketchcrawl #21, and being January, it was COLD. There was still some isolated snow patches on the ground and they were predicting more snow later in the day. I went out early and did a sketch in my car of a path and some trees at our local park. While I was sketching it started to snow, and since I had to deliver a painting to a juried show after 12:00, I decided to go home and do that before the roads got bad. After dropping off the painting, I came home to get some lunch, intending to go out to sketch again afterwards. As I pulled into my driveway I decided to sketch the Christmas-light deer on my front lawn. By the time I finished with that, it was snowing really hard and sticking, so I cut my sketchcrawl short for the day. I am a real weenie about cold weather, and especially about driving in snow, so I'm pretty happy with getting in two actual outdoor sketches.

Mickey - It's great that you got out even with the lousy weather. My favorite is Kevin's deer on the front lawn. I hope the weather is warm and dry for the next one, and that we can do it together!
These are great drawings and congratulations on dealing with the snow!
beautiful sketches. I agree about the cold......just this year I find it very hard to be outdoors long...will check out the site.
