I painted this the other day in a festive mood after our first snowfall of the season. I was also inspired by some Ernest H. Shepard drawings I saw on a blog. Sometimes, in weather like this (it’s currently -4 with wind chill) I feel like a mouse in a burrow — and I mean that in a good way.
I draw my family a lot, and they’ve all gotten pretty used to it and don’t grumble much, although my husband has objected to the number of sketches I’ve drawn of him holding a beer. But that’s when he tends to hold still, when he’s done working in the garden and comes in for a refreshing beverage and to check on the ball game. As for kids and pets, they’re most easily drawn when they’re asleep.
