Hamster With A Trumpet

SOLD

Thought it might be fun to do a series of
hamsters with different objects. This
little guy is about to head off to the
Christmas Concert to play his trumpet.

Hamster With An Apple


I'm creating a few more images of
hamsters; they're such cute little
critters and it's fun putting props
with them, like this big, shiny
apple.

Cherries


I bought some cherries last night, mostly
with a view to drawing them, but
ended up really enjoying the taste
of them when the sketch was done.
Brought back lots of memories
of my first summer job as a cherry
picker, at age 12.

Leah On A Rock


My granddaughter Leah sits on a rock
in the St. Lawrence River during a weekend
of camping with our church.
I took many photos, so I hope
to follow up with lots of pencil
renditions of the subjects I
photographed!

Morrigan In Sunshine


This portrait of my granddaughter
Morrigan was done on Stonehenge Paper.
The paper was too large for my scanner, so
I couldn't get as good an image of it
as I would have liked to....

Cow


I used Stonehenge paper for this drawing
instead of my usual Strathmore Bristol
Smooth. I think I know now why so many
other pencil artists use this surface and I'll
probably run to the art store to get some
more!

The Stallion



I love drawing all the wondrous
shapes and textures that make
up a horse! This drawing is
based on a photograph taken
by Amie Brown.

The Horse Trainer, #3

Another drawing of my son, the
horse trainer! I just love this scene
of the two of them striding purposefully
to wherever they are going!
This artwork is based on a photograph
taken by Amie Brown.
