Oaks In Hibernation

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

The paper is Stonehenge 100% Cotton, Vellum finish, 250 GSM, neutral ph/acid free paper. It is 8×8 inches. I absolutely LOVE this paper and plan to buy more in different sizes. It beats ANY Strathmore Bristol Papers, Hands Down!

Any monies made from the sale of this art will be donated to The Philadelphia Mission.

Everything Winter, Finks of Inks, His Hands Working - A Christian Missions Group, Trees - 2 images per day with trees as the focal point and Works On Paper Available for sale as

    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:)

  • 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!!

    My dear Catherine, Your trees make me remember my own trees so much….

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

    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…
