"Glass of Flowers" w/c 8x10

I saw these flowers jammed into a canning jar and rather liked the effect. My flowers are somewhat abstract.

Partial Pencil study

I love pencil 'cos it's so honest and non-boastful. Even a little hint like this one can be so rewarding. I just love art.

"Moonlit Birds" charcoal 5x7

I actually saw this then sketched it in charcoal. No, I don't think it's sinister or anything, I just see it as an extension of an artist's experience - if you're (say) a portrait painter in oils it is educational to use a different medium, what you learn does visit back to your home genre - portraits in oils for example.

"Tree at Michell's farm" w/c crayon 4x6

I am using the new watercolour crayons - you apply them dry on your Arches paper then use a wet brush to get that w/c effect. It's quick and easy, so much easier than the traditional approach to watercolour. You should try it....
