Asleep but still listening ..

Winter doesn't sleep as we know it, or that is the conclusion I have come too.I mean, there she was curled up in her favourite spot, breathing deeply and slowly but one ear faced me.
Just in case I snuck out to get a cookie...

I still struggle with getting her nose proportions correct :-)

Away camping for a few days, no phone, no internet so here are two sketches I did while away..

I bought a bird feeder for entertainment, it worked until the squirrels found it and dragged it away but not before the Chickadee's had their fill :-)

Autumn Leaves - Pen and Ink

I took the time today to try out a new pen ( Jinhau medium nib ) and new ink Diamine 'Ochre' that was rushed to me by my friends at Wonderpens.ca  :-)
 
Ochre seemed to be a suitable colour for this time of year.

This is quite small only 4" x 6"

This ink is not waterproof (that's what I wanted so I could move it around with a waterbrush)
