Snow in Mount Royal Cemetery
Right now, I really want to be out there painting big huge oil
paintings. But February in Montreal is more like moleskine and pencil
weather. Last Tuesday was overcast, fairly warm, (around -3c), with a
strong wind - which meant we had perfect conditions for big fat flakes
of snow sticking to every surface. One of those days every tree becomes a
sculpture, and every sculpture becomes a ghost. A perfect day to park
in the cemetery and do a slow, sustained drawing.

wow!
Superb!!!!
Wow indeed. This is really beautiful and we can feel how the snow set on things, is both delicate and heavy. I love the mood of it, the composition, and how the tables are turned - here the white areas are not negative spaces but are the objects.
Beautiful. Superb pencil work.
Love the values and textures!
Wow, I love the mood you've captured. All that delicate shading works perfectly.
