I drew this piece the other Thursday when I had a quiet afternoon and was ready to draw again after the Christmas and New Year festivities. I always find that holiday difficult in terms of being creative because there is little peace and quiet to be had. Don’t get me wrong, I do love Christmas and all that goes with it, but to retreat and draw is very hard! I managed to do this in charcoal pencil and watercolour on one of our few sunny afternoons. It is on handmade heavy paper in a large sketchbook gifted by my son last year.
