Rain, rain go away...

The weather this weekend is horrible!  Just awful!  I have managed to finish sticking together all my Christmas cards which is great though!  This has been a good way of filling in the dark evenings.  Here is a batch of them, I know Polar Bears are solitary creatures, but is there a proper name for a group of them I wonder?
























Here is also another picture I did of a polar bear, while coming up with ideas.  I have really enjoyed drawing them but feel a real urge now to get back on with some drawing from life again.  Today I set myself up a small still life and managed to work on it for a couple of hours, but the light has gone so quickly today I have had to abandon it half finished.  I won't be able to work on it now until Thursday, but I will definitely complete it.  The lack of decent daylight at this time of year is so frustrating.  I really want to get outside and do some drawing, but the weather just spoils everything!

  6. Polar bears are inclined to be unsociable but if not , a group is a "celebration" or possible a "herd" . Mind you wikipedia says a herd but it also says they are called polo bears which may be an entirely different animal !
