It has been a thoroughly miserable day here weatherwise. My partner suggested that we get out to have a closer look at the snow falling on the nearby ranges. We drove out to Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, from where we could see the snow clouds sweeping across the tops of the range. Where we were, on the valley floor, a flock of swallows swooped around our car. I could hardly believe how beautiful it all was.

I’m saying that because my drawing was done completely from inside the warmth of our car!

beautiful rendering and yes snow is best sketched from the warmth of a car, nearly got frostbite at Mt Cook in NZ years ago sketching plein air for a bit too long!

Thanks Mo. I think it’s one of my better recent efforts. Oh the unexpected hazards of art!

Thank you. Definitely one of the sketches that achieved some sense of what I was experiencing.

Yes I think we can feel that and everything has come together perfectly – solid ground, moving sky, pale sun
