Early ice storm

We had an early spring ice storm. The tree limbs are weighted down -- I can't even see my new bird feeders. I didn't leave the house yesterday. Better than not drawing at all, but I was not really paying attention.

Old bronze in gouache

This drawing was done this morning, in less than 30 minutes. The color on this drawing was done with a small travel set of gouache. I need watercolor, and especially a water brush. I've not used one, but I keep hearing artists talk about them. So -- all in all, at least I can tell what this is. The metal (bronze?) is corroded and I tried to capture the green-brown-blue hues of the dirt and patina. 

Complex spices

This drawing was done in three sittings. It was still fun and gratifying to draw. I observed many things about my selection of spices that I didn't know before.
