December blues

Soon it will be the shortest day and we will begin to come into the light again.  It is a struggle, these dark days, to work by decent light.  Even the daylight is murky, or, on a sunny day, the sun is so low that everything is distorted.  Sometimes I simply cannot see clearly what I want to draw.  The studio at The Cube is too different from home with all round light.
Here is my effort a la Rory McEwen.  I don't appear to have signed it so maybe it is not finished here.  Coloured pencil over watercolour.

I did another in similar style of Monks House, Rodmell.
At present the project is to design a Christmas card.  And surprisingly difficult it is too.
