First Attempt at Colored Pencil

Because my "studio" is in the garage, I needed to find some form of artful creativity I could carry out in the house without creating a big mess and that was easily removed at a moment's notice. Ah, ha! Colored pencils. After a little research I decided to give Prismacolor pencils (http://tr.im/QpEA) a try. Of course, I ordered the pencils just before Christmas and had to wait over two weeks before they arrived. Finally in early January I got around to playing with my pencils.

For some reason I like to draw pears.

It takes me a long time to do a drawing or any other piece of art for that matter.

A month later resulted in this piece titled "Table Pear".

A Chair, A Pear and Cheese

This weekend is our local Arts and Crafts Faire. I thought something small and of local interest might entice a buyer or two to part with a few dollars.


6"x8" Water Soluble Oil

I used a dragonfly I found drowned in our bird bath.


A natural model.

After seeing a few Van Goghs on our European trip, I thought it would be interesting to paint something of a Van Gogh theme.


15"x9" Watercolor canvas

I enjoyed painting the chair and the pear.
