Thanksgiving has come and gone and life is getting back to normal [ a bit] at Cob Cottage. We picked up a 10 week old Jack Russell Terrier [or is that terrorist?] on Thanksgiving day to extend our family. Little Xiaolin Nell has won our hearts and even Addie , our 8 year old Welsh Corgi has accepted the new baby. I can’t seak for our cat, Mittens.
So because I am having to ‘mind the store” so to speak while Little Nell acts like a bull in a china shop….I am having to do my artwork on the first floor living space..and so I am doing pen and ink sketches …something easy to pick up and lay down at a moments notice! Nell’s given name is Xiaolin …a Chinese name meaning bamboo forest…we have added Nell to her name as it is easier for me to say and remember. And she looks like a Nell.
This pen and ink sketch is 13 by 10 and is done on Strathmore paper. I am putting it up on my website on the Landscapes and Still Lifes Collection.
I will get some pics up on my blog of Miss Nell….but right now I need to rescue the cat!

“Fence To The Pond ” is done and the two small pen and inks [ 8 x 9"] will be put on my website in the Sketches and Studies Collection…..
Today the rain is falling and the wind blowing something fierce, so I am headed out to clean stalls and put the horses in. They are not happy campers at this point.

Our pastures are surrounded by forest…spruce, pine, cedar and fir..and tamarack trees..and some hard wood too. But it is the tall spruce and pine that captures my muse ..tall like sentinels they stand protecting our farm. They dance and sway in the wind, are clothed in white robes when it snows…and the air smells of their sweetness on damp days.
This is one of two pen and ink I have done of the fortress around our farm. They are both sized at 8 x 9″ and are on watercolor board. I love doing pen and ink. I used to do a lot of them, mostly landscapes or figurative works…and am thinking I will do more in the future.

I finished this 9 x 12″ sketch the other evening, but we have had a busy two days and evenings and I have not had time to work in my studio or catch up on projects. I love doing pen and inks..line and shadow. As a child I would read Charles Dickens’ novels and was in love with the etchings portraying the stories. Simple, clean and how they drew you into the story. A big crunchy apple..a Dickens’ novel on a rainy day and I was off into a world of my own for an entire afternoon. Anyway..this sketch was fun and different from what I do every other day . But it does show bit of my life and surroundings here at Cob Cottage.
Now to get back to commissions…………..
