For Those of You Who Can’t Draw a Straight Line
Which is about everyone. I haven’t come up with an interesting title for this, but I think you can figure out it’s a carousel. For the great unwashed, like me, it’s a merry-go-round. I have to brag though, I did draw the straight lines without a ruler. These lines are long, so it would have…

I Don’t Know Where to Draw the Line
Literally and figuratively. This started out as a view that I saw when I was terribly, terribly bored. It’s a tree I saw out a window. Pretty boring, right? So, having nothing better to do, I decided to draw the tree and the window. Honestly, I meant it to be more realistic, but as I…

Post Holiday Blues
Well, not really all that blue. I have my artwork to do, and that’s positive. There’s this drawing that I completed recently. Since it’s winter, I decided to do a winter landscape at sunset. I based it on this drawing I created a few years back. Silhouettes of trees are always graceful. There you go…..just…

When in Doubt…..
Draw a cat. That’s my go to when I don’t have any other ideas. The cat drawing I tried to do was going nowhere. It was going along well, until I drew the cat’s front leg. It didn’t go so well. It kind of looked like the cat had a thick tail sticking out of…

The Struggle is Real

Hello Dolly!
Please forgive the pun. This is a drawing of dolls. You see, a couple of years ago, a friend and I when to a huge thrift shop. I mean huge! It was several miles away from the little city I call home. As we hunted through the treasures, I saw a display of antique dolls.…

FINALLY!
For the first time in months, I’ve created something that i can be proud of. I think I’m going to title it “Tree Trunk In Summer”. For those of you who might what was going through my mind when I drew this, I’ll have to disappoint you. It’s nothing more than I saw this scene,…

Happy Autumn!
I have to admit, I’m beginning to like autumn. It’s cool weather ends the hot weather of summer. Much as I love summer, I look forward to the end of it. Also, the colors of the leaves are another reason I like fall. Here, I was just stepping out of the car and saw this.…

White on….. What?
I’ve always been intrigued by works of art that are compositions of white on white. So, Ive made some attempts doing this. Mind you, with colored pencils, it’s really impossible to do completely. Maybe if I get back to working in acrylics again/ An example of this is “Blizzard: Incidentally, I have a goal to…
