Over on my Facebook page I have been posting something up everyday. A face book advent calendar type thing. You may have seen these, if you haven't here's a sample..Sketches and photo's and such like. I will share here the sketches as the photo's you may have seen before?
This last one 'The journey north' I hope to work on as a painting very soon.
I don't have an advent calendar, but my teenagers do. This year it is a chocolate one. We normally alternate the years with picture/chocolate. Which one do you have? ...
To celebrate the beginning of Winter I had an early birthday present yesterday and went to see Olafur Arnalds perform at St Georges in Bristol. He is coming to the end of his 'For now I am Winter' tour. It was just beautiful and perfect for my beginning of Winter. :)
I think I will be rummaging in the cupboard to find the Christmas decorations this weekend..
I will leave you with the title track of Olafur Arnalds album. Have a magical weekend. x

DeleteThanks Sarah, I'm glad that you like. :)
DeleteKaren, your art is beautiful! I enjoyed the music to this post, too!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your art which I've only discovered recently, with the ubiquitous fox and hare. I do love a good fox when I see one. So if I look over here at your blog, I'm always sure to see them.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos of the fiery skies, especially the last one with the dark branches in the foreground. The drawings are lovely too.

Wonderful pictures x I love the evening colours. We have an abundance of advent calenders in our house - felt ones and picture ones. And the advent candles to burn each night and the decorations to add to our JesseTree for each day of advent.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, magical sketches.. thank you for sharing them here x
