I love abstract art. You can look at it over and over again and keep seeing new things. Or interpret it in a new way. I find it very hard to create though. For some reason I get stuck on the idea that my art has to “be something”, that it has to have a [...]

Grind
Sometimes inspiration is found in your own backyard. This bike resides under our deck. One of the “rocket guys” brought it out with the intention of turning it into a “rocket bike”. But, he started dating someone and the bike was left behind. Forgotten. I think it makes a wonderful drawing. The size is 11″ [...]
Suncatchers
The photo I drew from for this piece was taken at the Huntsville Botanical Gardens, I think on Mother’s Day. It was a beautiful sunny day and the tulips were just gorgeous. They plant pansies and tulips together and it is a wonderful combination. I kept trying to get the boys to stand still for [...]

Flare
I love the colors in this piece! Orange is so bright and cheery and the cool greens just make the flowers pop. I tried using Stonehenge paper this time since I’ve seen many colored pencil artists rave about it online. I’m still not sure I’m sold on it. It allows for lots of layering, but [...]

Morning Blush
After working on the rusty trains, I honestly thought roses would be “easier”. I was so wrong. Petals are full of small color variations and little nuances that you just don’t normally notice. It was a wonderful challenge. I’ll probably draw more flowers in the future. And what kind of art am I going to [...]

Weathered Traveler
This piece was so much fun! It is smaller than the last train drawing, which for a while kind of bugged me. I just didn’t feel the impact as early as I did with “Derailed”. I also tried a different type of paper, which I wasn’t sure about. By the end, I love how it [...]
