On My Drawing Table

This time of year is somewhat a quiet time and I get to spend a lot of time at my drawing table. Working on new series for the coming year and just messing around with new techniques. 

Blue Moon is my latest series, each full moon of the year has a name given to it mostly by Indian Tribes who lived their lives closer to the demands of the seasons then we do now. 

The challenge I am giving myself is to work solely monochromatic in blue watercolors.

 January's full moon is known as the Wolf Moon.

 February's full moon is the Snow Moon.

My gift to you lovely followers, is a desktop calendar for February.

Just click on the image above to download.

This is for your own personal use.

February's full moon is known as the 'Snow Moon' to many

North American Indian tribes. The snow is high in this month and

it made hunting difficult for them, so it is also known

as 'The Full Hunger Moon'. 

Along with the moon lore, this month also contains

Valentine's Day a day to celebrate with your loves.

And eat chocolate!

This year we can include Leap Year as another celebration, 

dating back four centuries or more, legend says that

any lady may propose to any man on leap day. If he choses

to decline, he owes her a silk gown and a kiss, provided that

she is wearing a red petticoat at the time! 

Enjoy your calendar and your month!
