Sunday Sketches - Backyard Shadows

Welcome to Sunday Sketches! This piece is done in my sketchbook (8 1/2" x 11") in watercolour crayon. I called it 'Backyard Shadows'.  It's based on a photo I took in my backyard in the fall, I just changed it to snow on the ground.  We don't really have any snow right now, as it has been a mild December.

Simple but appealing because of the two tones.

Sad that you have no snow... we are in sweltering heat. Extremes all over the world. Have a lovely week.

WE got some last night, Christine, but I'm not sure it's going to stick around. It's going to be very mild this week.

Again and again it's such a pleasure to see your recent artwork as it always surprises me what you are drawing. I love it how you drew the shadows in the backyard and I also love it how you did the texture of the tree and the fence!

I love your Sunday Sketches! Such a great idea. Wish we would get some snow, too. It's been mild here as well.
Have a wonderful Christmas week!
