Big Cedar Lake Birch VII - A Work in Progress

Today, we are still under a Weather Advisory and this time it is for heavy snow and ice pellets, with the temperature at F(-7C) and the wind chill making it feel like F (-14C). Needless to say the horses are going to spend another day in their stalls with plenty of hay and water.

After doing the barn chores and having breakfast I thought I would go through some of my pen and ink drawings and do some work on one of them.

I chose this one of a birch tree that I had started a number of years ago when we were canoeing on Big Cedar Lake (see posts on 11 August and 11 October 2019).

I knew it needed a number of things changed so I worked in pencil adding shading to the tree trunk, adjusting the branches and putting some more leaves.

I will post this drawing at a later date as more work on it is completed.
