Today it was 10 below zero while I was sipping my coffee, clutching the cup between my trembling hands. And the snow banks outside start at 24 inches high and might be as tall as 5 feet at the corners where you can't see traffic coming. I am not exaggerating!
Therefore, we must have soup, lots of hot soup for comfort and energy. I made a great pot of lentil soup recently and sketched it twice. Then, I made a more finished piece out of it. Although only pencils and watercolor on paper, still it is a comforting image. Soup!
