For those who are interested in such things, I used the Strathmore Bristol vellum, and not the smooth this time. I find I liked using it much more than I thought I would.....
A proud rooster struts his stuff. He used to belong to my son, Luke, and his family, but I'm not sure what became of him. I fear he met a violent end....
Another horse/girl illustration. I'm discovering that I love drawing horses as much as I love drawing people!

A second illustration of a girl on a horse for my friend Martha who is writing some awesome children's books! Although granddaughter Nikki did the posing, the girl in the drawing ended up looking both shorter and younger.
This is a portrait of my dear friend Grace and her husband Jerry. The drawing was commissioned by their daughter Marcee, in honour of their 35th wedding anniversary.
Guess I still haven't gotten drawing eggs out of my system! These have been created with colour pencil, but I had to use some oil pastel on the yolks, since I couldn't get the yellows I wanted with the pencils.
