I tried to get outside to draw today. I really did. But it was cold again. Maybe I’m just a wimp, but the thought of sitting down somewhere for thirty minutes or more when the temp is in the 40′s is just not my idea of fun. So, another inside pic. Sigh.
More charcoal play, though. So that was fun. I’m really enjoying the organic quality charcoal is bringing to my work; though not so much on this one as the vases. I can’t wait to try it on an outdoor subject.
In the meantime, I claim victory over Everyday Matters challenge #159 – Draw a Favorite Cooking Tool. A stove is a tool, isn’t it?

Yes of course a stove is a cooking too ^^ It’s very very nicely done!
This is a great p[icture – your stove looks really friendly!

This is absolutely lovely! I am sorry to hear you could not get out, but you did a fine job of painting your stove.
Your sketching style is superb.
I wouldn’t go out either—not if it’s too cold, or too warm or too windy or too buggy….wonderful job on the stove’s portrait….you’ve got the right touch
