The Cardinals came to the feeder. I didn't get them together and didn't capture the tender moment when he gave her a safflower seed with his beak but I did snap a photo of him after he'd shooed away all of the House Finches that were in the feeder before she arrived.
I was especially pleased with my daily art journal page today. There were three shelves on the page that needed to be filled with things. I chose books, ornaments, dishes, and a plant. And I used my new watercolor pencils to color them. I also used a liner pen to outline the shapes before I colored them. It's something that the 10-Step books say to do and I've come to like the look of it.
This has to be my worst watercolor effort yet. I used masking fluid to keep areas of the canvas white but put it on too thick so that it doesn't look like snow at all. I like the moon and the sky but the rest is dreck. How come sometimes I can make the paint do what I want it to and other times I can't? I'm mystified and should probably stick to drawing.
The lesson in the 30 Days book today was all about foreshortened circles. I drew a volcano and a coffee mug, and then this lunar-esque landscape of craters and mountains. Kind of interesting.
I never knit a second sock but for some reason I want to knit another one with the Barn Owl sock yarn so I started the cuff and have about an inch knitted. I promise that I won't wear them together. I love this yarn.
I didn't toss anything today. I've kind of lost the oomph to do it.
I finished going through the NaNoWriMo manuscript hoping for a title clue and a hint about how to end the thing and found neither. Guess I go back to the beginning and read it again. *sigh*

At least the snow didn't stop the birds. And it didn't stick. Got to be some positives on a dreary day.
