Belle of the Ball

This one was just for fun...done on an 8 x 10 board.

Update !!!

Boy has it ever been a long time since I've posted!!! I have done a few art works, so I'll just post some updates while I'm here. I'm working on a new one now, so I'll get this up as soon as I can.

Spaniel

On Ampersand pastel board, grey - 8 x 10, Fiber-Castell pastel pencils

I don't do many pastels, but wanted to play with some. It was fun!

Stipple Drawings

Just playing around...

Pug

You can't help to love a pug!

Scratchin' an Itch

I thought I had finished this little guy, but decided he was just not done yet. Fortuneately he wasn't spray sealed yet, so I worked on him again. Now I think he looks much better...definately fluffier!

Jaguar Cub

I've been busy since my last post. I entered the Spring show for the Hudson Artists. Put in 8 pieces and sold 6; plus 2 commissions! That was so encouraging, that I decided to get busy and start some new pieces.

I was viewing some photo's on Flickr and saw one that caught my eye. I contacted the photographer Tambako and requested permission to use his photo of a jaguar cub as reference. He was really nice about it and said okay. He also liked the final result.






Here is the cub when I finished scratching it ... and again after I added color.
