Eggs On Blue

2010-07-11T16:07:00.000-07:00

These eggs were so nice and shiny after I'd boiled them that I couldn't resist taking a photograph to use as the basis for this Oil Pastel painting.

I absolutely love it when people commission me to do a portrait from a photo that's been taken in sunshine! This one is almost complete I think. It's being done with Oil Pastel on Colourfix Paper.

Morrigan Again....

2010-06-06T18:18:00.000-07:00

As an experiment, I drew this one using only a General's Layout Pencil.....and loved using that! Fun to do the whole thing with only one pencil!

2010-04-09T17:22:00.000-07:00

These birds are currently listed on Ebay. They are drawn with pencil on Strathmore Bristol Vellum. I love the little pre-cut ACEO paper that Strathmore sells. They are extremely handy and also come in such cute packages!

The Old Gnarled Tree

2010-04-04T13:34:00.000-07:00

This beautiful tree stands proudly on the grounds of Saddleridge Stable. I've always wanted to try and capture it's remarkable shape and character.

Another Acrylic ACEO. I'm loving the quickness with which acrylic allows me to complete a painting and I love that there's no turpentine fumes to worry about!

ACEO's in Acrylic

2010-03-20T13:36:00.000-07:00

Thought I was done with ACEO's, but just can't keep away from them entirely. Even though pencil is my favorite medium, I still find myself picking up a paintbrush once in a while, especially now that I've discovered how wonderful Acrylics can be (compared to oils, which are so messy!)and I love Acrylic paint on Colorfix Paper!

my growing repertoire of canines!
Prints of these can be purchased
from my Etsy store as well as
on products in my Zazzle Store.

Tough But Tender

2010-01-07T13:24:00.000-08:00

These dogs are adorably ugly!
In spite of their tough looks, they
are apparently gentle, faithful,
and loyal!

Mortar And Pestle

2010-01-04T12:47:00.000-08:00

This was a fun still life to do. Graphite
Pencil lends itself well to depicting
marble.

Penguin in Pencil

2010-01-03T16:34:00.001-08:00

I adore penguins and think they are
among the most comical and interesting
of God's creatures!

Another Marble

2009-12-30T16:33:00.000-08:00

This is drawn with colour pencils on
Stonehenge Paper.
Stonehenge paper has some marvelous
qualities for use with both graphite and colour
pencils!

Morrigan in Sunshine

2009-12-28T05:22:00.000-08:00

This is my second rendering of the same
subject.........my little granddaughter, Morrigan,
standing in the sunshine near my pond in
the summer time. Don't worry, my
grandkids may only come to the pond
with me practically breathing down
their necks to make sure they don't
fall in!

Old Stone Mill

2009-12-27T14:42:00.000-08:00

A pencil version of a mill I've often
depicted in paint.

Leaping Frog

Tulip in Pencil

2009-12-16T08:16:00.000-08:00

I'm not thinking Spring, but just decided
to draw this tulip as part of my portfolio
on www.shutterstock.com, a place where
businesses buy stock photos. It's a fun
place to sell my illustrations!

Rio Running, #2

2009-12-06T05:03:00.000-08:00

Another drawing of Reuben and Karina's
stallion, Rio, running.
The photos of Rio that I use
(with permission) for
reference have been taken by
Amie Brown. She's a great
photographer!

Rio Running

2009-12-04T04:24:00.000-08:00

Jack Russell Puppy

2009-11-28T07:10:00.000-08:00

SOLD

This is another ACEO; it's listed on Ebay,
along with a number of others...

Goldfinch ACEO

2009-11-25T17:00:00.000-08:00

SOLD

This is one of several bird drawings I
have been doing and posting on Ebay.
This is an ACEO, drawn with pencil
on Strathmore Bristol Smooth.

Horse Portrait

2009-11-18T04:09:00.000-08:00

This drawing barely fit into my scanner, so
I had to do crop it closely. In reality it's
drawn on a large paper, with lots of white
area surrounding the portrait.

Winter Evening

2009-11-16T16:56:00.000-08:00

SOLD

I got my oil pastels out again to create
this scene of horses outside on a snowy
evening. I've been creating some
Christmas cards using this scene.

Foal In Snow

2009-11-05T19:50:00.000-08:00

SOLD

I was in the mood to create a scene with snow
in it, so I got out my colour pencils and
created this scene of a young foal standing
in a snowy pasture as late afternoon turns
to dusk.

ACEO: Horse, No. 5

2009-11-04T12:27:00.000-08:00

SOLD

ACEO "Horse, No. 8

2009-11-04T12:26:00.000-08:00

ACEO: Horse

2009-10-30T17:59:00.001-07:00

I think this is the 7th ACEO of a horse
I've managed to complete in the last
week.....I'm having fun!

Cardinal

2009-10-29T11:31:00.001-07:00

Another ACEO........guess I'm back to
creating these little guys again, at least
for now!

Little Black Shoes in Pencil

2009-10-28T05:53:00.000-07:00

A pencil version of the the little black
shoes which I painted in oils a
while back...

ACEO: Horse

2009-10-25T05:31:00.000-07:00

SOLD
I thought my ACEO stage was pretty much over
but got the urge again when I saw the cutest
little package of pre-cut drawing paper at
the art store yesterday! The package had
a miniature cover which was an exact
replica of the real drawing pad cover.
Of course I had to buy it!!

Blonde and Beautiful

2009-10-22T18:49:00.000-07:00

I don't know if "blonde" is a word that
can describe a horse, but that's how
I think of this one!

Baby Long Legs

2009-10-19T06:49:00.000-07:00

This little guy has a lot of leg to contend
with when he wants to lie down
and get comfortable!

Andre At Six

2009-10-18T19:42:00.000-07:00

This is a portrait of my oldest grandchild, Andre,
when he was six years old. He's now a big lad
of fifteen and a half, and still has the gentle
personality evident here!

Cherry Duo

2009-10-16T04:32:00.000-07:00

I always look twice when I see pictures of
cherries or find them in the store. I love
their shape and their rich color, and
it's fun to try and capture that even
with simple graphite...

At The Auction

2009-10-12T14:14:00.000-07:00

Here is the finished drawing. Unfortunately,
it doesn't fit in my scanner, so both the top and the
bottom had to be cropped in this image!

Work In Progress

2009-10-10T10:52:00.000-07:00

I don't usually post WIP's, but now that I'm planning
to spend more time working on detail in my pencil
drawings, I thought it might be fun to do that.
This one didn't fit in my scanner, so you don't
see that he actually has feet and will be standing on some
grass. I took this photo at a farm auction and plan
to call this one "At the Auction".
