Winterblues? No  way!

It is februari and the days are cold.
Nevertheless I try to get out to draw as much as I can !
Trees are among  my favourite drawing objects and especially the knotted willow tree is the one I like most .
Knotted willows are  the most positve things I know !
Most of the time  their branches are cut of once a year, their stems split or burst open, all kind of humps and lumps are growing on them, other plants and trees grow on or in them, but every year they produce new branches and new leaves! And keep going on, no matter what.
I like that. Very much.
So every now and then I make time for them , and  draw one .

Wintertime also means most of the trees have no leaves.
So you see em kinda naked.....................
And that is nice to draw too.

One day the sun was shining, it was still freezing cold, but the birds were quite active !
So i drew a few of them , to be seen in the next drawing., a Robin, a common Kestrel and a blue Heron.     And of  course some little landscape drawings, featuring trees !

The last drawing I wanted to share here is one done during various lunch and coffee breaks at my work.
