The hurrier I go, the behinder I get!

As usual, so much to post, so little time to do it.

 

But had to post this one.

 

 

My cousin, snafu, and his better half, sent us such a beautiful Christmas card this year. And you know the old saying, "Imitation is the best form of flattery."

 

Well, this is just the kind of scene I love to draw, but have not yet been able to draw one from my imagination, so decided to do my own sketch of this. It was SUCH a delight to draw!

 

 

Here is my version:

 

I call this English Village. I intentionally left the decorations off the Christmas trees.

 

and here is the original:

 

 

It is a charity card, by the Sue Ryder Care charity - copyrighted!

 

My sister tells me I have a very light hand, and I can see she is right. So I will need to go over my copy with  a VERY fine pen...I am terrified of ruining it....it wasn't done in a day! But at least I have it scanned now.

 

Interestingly, my other cousin, A, also sent a beautiful Christmas card of a typical English scene.

 

I am going to work on that one next!

 

Thanks Cuz's!!
