After being inspired by one of my followers here on WP to make a numbers project I went right to work. Before beginning I looked at number charts, spiral pictures of numbers and all kinds of computer wallpapers and pages of numbers. This numbers project was a lot of fun and I now see numbers…
Home Made Heart Card
This was a really fun project to put together so I’m here to tell you all about it. You’ll need card stock, scissors, glue, a ruler and a pencil or marker. Early on I made a mistake using a lighter page of card stock and to start all over again. So, make sure all of…
Geddy Lee From The Band Rush
The band Rush got started in in August of 1968 in the neighborhood of Toronto, Ontario Canada. The album that appealed to me at the time was called “Moving Pictures” and it was released in Feb. of 1981. The most popular song at that time was “Tom Sawyar”. Geddy Lee is the lead vocalist, bassist…
A Fawn In Graphite
Traveling along the skyline drive in Luray Virginia was one of the best things in life that I enjoyed with my father. While staying in a cabin we always saw deer early in the morning. From the cabin I saw a few black bears too. Walking home from the lodge one evening we saw a…
An Eagle In Graphite
The American Eagle is one of the most striking birds in appearance, I think and that is the very thing that helped me to decide on what to create with my new graphics pencils. The American Eagle Foundation was my resource for information on these amazing birds. https://eagles.org/what-we-do/educate/learn-about-eagles/bald-eaglets/ Adult male bald eagle’s have a wing…
Christmas Cards In Watercolor
This is the time of the year that I really enjoy giving to folks, friends and family. I started making my Christmas cards about 2 weeks ago. Getting an early start certainly helped. I had just finished the snowman card and looked up at the clock in my studio. WOW, I thought to myself, Thanksgiving…
Web Weaving Masters In Ink
Spiders are without a doubt the masters of web weaving and today I’m here to share a few sketches I did over the last several days. I’ve had this picture in black and white of a spider on my desktop for months now wanting to sketch it. So I started sketching it a few days…
A Vendor In The Marketplace
Inspiration hit me fast about 4 weeks ago when I listened to a vendor share his story of boxing. I had been out shopping in my local marketplace. This vendor (Henry) owns one of the shops in the local market my friend and I go to for gaming, comics and movies. Henry shared with me…
Whimsical Street
Having a fondness of a slightly slanted design (whimsical) is one of the kinds of art I love to create. Whimsical designs are fairly easy to make and go much in the same direction but not always. It’s not the same as abstract but similar in some ways. Painting out of the ordinary shapes of…
A Field Mouse Under Cover
Mice are small, super fast and down right cute. That is until you have them in your kitchen. Year round mice eat a diet rich in seeds and grains. They are hoarders and store their food in burrows underground. When in season they enjoy fruits and berries and green plants. In one litter a mother…
Pine Trees Inside A Silhouette
Being fond of the great outdoors, I was inspired last week to create these pine trees inside of the silhouette of a cat. In the fall, usually, is when the pine needles start falling to the ground here in my community. The fragrance of pine is quite pleasant and I’m eagerly awaiting for the beginnings…
A Sneak Peak At Geddy Lee
I’ve been diligently working on this colored pencil portrait for the last 6 weeks. This is a gift for my nephew and he’s totally not expecting it! As I spend more time studying Geddy Lee’s face to make this portrait I see just how much of a distinguished gentlemen he really is. He is the…
