2-for-1 day. This #drawing is of the house just beyond the subject of my last post. (Another student house; this is what happens when you live a 10- or 15-minute walk from campus in a small, Maritime university town.) No colour this time, just a #sketch in #pencil, fountain pen (#ink), and Copic #markers. Again with the melting snow (plus some snow piled on the corner). This one was all about the shadows. #mastoArt #drawing #sketch #architecture #streetscape #mta #mountallison #sackville

"Calm down, hold this shovel."

A couple of hours into shoveling, daylight showed up, so I took a walk to an undisturbed area with an unplowed sidewalk .. (which seems to be any sidewalk, still, hours later)
Catching the fresh snow before dog walkers paint it yellow 😁, or litter it with prints.

My computer notification said, #SUNSET COMING (without the hashtag) and I got my camera out, but I had to wait awhile. The clouds buried the sun, and you can see it reappear below the cloud in that last photo. #Sackville #Hailfax #Clouds

Nova Scotia's first snowstorm is just about washed away.
I've gained a few *ponds* in the front and back yard. The ground is too frozen to absorb it, and it's going to be eroding the lawns washing off.
I might take a break from my research and go watch the #Sackville river swell...
