Paint Party Friday - Stormy Weather

We are in the deep freeze here in the Toronto area, with wind chill warnings last night to -30C (-22F).  Hard to believe we are almost into March.  They were saying it is usually around 1C (34F) at this time of year.

This piece is done in my art journal (5"h x 7"w) in watercolour pencils. It's called 'Stormy Weather', inspired by a photo I saw in the newspaper. The boat is modelled after a little boat model I have at home. Happy PPF!

New Year's Eve 2013

Will you stay up tonight and wait for the New Year?  We are in a deep freeze here (-12C).  It warmed up a bit on the weekend and I went for a walk with my friend S, but we were slipping and sliding along, quite scary in fact.  I did take a few photos below:

This is a shot of the trees after the recent ice storm. As I mentioned, it was thawing a bit that day and the ice was starting to fall off the tress. It was still quite pretty.

This is what it looked like on the ground beneath the trees as the frozen ice fell off the branches.
