Oaks In Hibernation
I created this drawing with art markers and a micron .01 black pen.

Fantastic, such great line work. Lets get you into the print room. Are there any classes near you? B
Catherine Howell replied
Thanks very much for the kind comments:) As far as classes, I live in Bryan/College Station, Texas. Texas A&M University is here, but this area is lacking as far as the arts are concerned. Some are trying to remedy this situation, though:) I’ll do some investigating.

Stunningly beautiful artwork Catherine… and the Philadelphia Mission is such a worthy cause, I donated some money to them a few month ago.
Catherine Howell replied
I truly appreciate your view and wonderful comments concerning this drawing!!
That is wonderful to hear, about The Mission!! I so agree that The Philadelphia Mission is a very worthy cause. Trevor gives everything he makes to the people and the thing I love about it is there is not the overhead that you sometimes see. The money goes to the people.
Thank you so much for your encouraging comments:)

The shapes and colours in this are wonderful. It looks like you really enjoyed creating this lovely artwork.
Catherine Howell replied
Hello, Carmen:) Thanks very much for viewing my work and for the wonderful comments!! I was a little stressed while creating this because I had never used the Copic art markers before. I really like the effects you can get with them:) I have always done pen and ink, but using art markers was new and exciting.
Thank you so much!!

But I want you to know that I love your work and sensibility. GP

Fran Webster
A stunning piece of work. The warmth is already pumping through the veins of the tree as the warmth of the sun pierces the coldness of the winter grief, while there is coldness all around, yet the life is still flowing. All looks dead, all looks blue, yet life has just been sleeping a while. Look out for spring. In your life also.
Catherine Howell replied
Thank you very much…
“Look out for spring. In your life also.” How did you know???
