Confined
I cannot believe this snow and ice has confined us to the house for nearly a week. The house is gleaming, ironing all done, cakes baked, soup made and in the freezer but ... if I don't go out soon I may go mad! On the upside My Jack Russell's been having a great time.

Frosty designs on windowpanes are a marvel, and you've managed to capture their fascinating coolness (& coldness) in a graphically pleasing way that would lend itself to so many other applications.
ReplyDeleteNo snow in South Florida, but so cold. Had to get out of the yard, thank goodness for heat seats in my car. Finally starting to warm up.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is beautiful and it reminds me of the frozen window panes at my house. I love the design and details. Well at least the cold is inspiring you to great work! It generally me want to curl up with a book and hot chocolate! I love your little terrier, what a cutie! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI love walking on snow and feeling crisp cold air in my face. It's too hot here. I can see some shapes in your design: a fish, leaf, flower and some twigs. I really enjoy the beauty of nature from your drawing.
ReplyDeleteYes, great minds indeed! Very nice illustration. At least a lot of snow helps to get the house clean. Hope you make it out soon!
ReplyDeleteI saw UK got to a whopping -20 the other night. But then, I live in Canada where that is frequent. Wait until you see a -40 night!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my site. At least the cold weather inspired some nice illustrations ;)
This is gorgeous Nicky! Beautiful pattern and color. Has the weather gotten any better across the pond?
ReplyDeleteNice illo - it feels cold. Jack Russell's cute.
ReplyDeleteSimple lovely zen piece to me.
ReplyDeleteHello Jack Russell! You are so cute! Are you going to take over Santa Clause's place this year?
Another really nice graphic design. The puppies always like it better when we are stuck at home all day. My greyhounds were very upset when Christmas break was over.
ReplyDeletethis looks just like a frosty window! perfect!
ReplyDeleteOK, Nicky - I must say that this is one of my most favorite illustrations this week! Lovely, lovely work. I'm a fan! And I'm THRILLED to see your lovely new blog banner..not that the old one was bad (it sure wasn't) but I just love this illustration! It was a winner when I saw it the first time. Awesome. Stay warm!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Nicky - you always manage to interpret nature so well and this illustration is no exception - hand in hand here with Jack Frost ! x
ReplyDeleteNice bleached tones, very Wintry!
ReplyDeleteThey're both wonderful! The ice/snow design is great. Hope you're getting out by now :)
