SUNFLOWER MORNING

This is another original by Lady Beverly!

It measures 9 x 11 on pale yellow mi-teintes paper done on the smooth side. I use only Prismacolor pencils and blend with Gamsol. This technique makes my paintings look just like painting.

I did this painting from a photograph taken by a good friend of mine. It was taken in her backyard last summer - first time I saw it I knew that I needed to paint it.

Thanks for looking!

I'm back - after hectic holidays and doing many new projects, I'm back with my blog.

This is 'Miss Sabrina' - she is a chick with an attitude done in Prismacolor color pencils. She is done on mi-tiense matboard and blended with gamsol. She is appoximately 10 x 14. I have her on Etsy now - I'm selling the print for $40.00.

Please check back often - my goal for 2010 is to have much more!

Here is where I am at the moment - I have over 40 hours in this now - many, many little leaves. This will just be the base - there will be a lot of tweeking to be done! No Doubt!

Hope you enjoy my WIP - leave a comment if you wish.

Impatience for Charleston

This is my second posting of Impatience for Charleston! I have much more done but am posting the different sections as I get them done. It is on blue mitienses paper, with prismacolors and is approximately 16 x 20. Please leave me a comment if you see anything that I need to so to improve this. I also have this posted on Wetcanvas.

Thanks for looking!

'My Hedgehog!'

Here is my next to final touch of 'My Hedgehog!' - Since I posted this I see one or 2 minor things to touch up - otherwise, I 'think' I am finished. I posted it on Wetcanvas - will wait to hear what everyone thinks.

Here is a color pencil painting that I have just finished. I just love this horse. She is an Ann DeMille Flood lesson. This was a lot of fun to do - prismacolor pencils on vellum. Approximately 11 x 14.

Hi Everyone!

Here is what I did Saturday - took a class in Dayton at the DAGSO chapter with Marian Jackson. She is a wonderful teacher! This is her copy from her website - mine is almost done. This is color pencil on Mi-Tientes tobacco paper. This class was very informative and enjoyable.

When I get mine done, I will post and you can compare.

Thanks to all involved!!!!! & Happy Painting!

Impatience for Charleston

It has been a while since I have blogged - I must apologize for that.

Here is a work in progress - this is going to be titled 'Impatience for Charleston'. It is color pencil on a 16 x 20 piece of blue, smooth vellum. You can see my reference picture that I took along with my magifying glass.

This picture was taken 2 years ago in Charleston, SC on our Honeymoon.

'ART ON THE LAWN'

Good Morning Peeps!

Well this show went pretty well. We really enjoyed it - had a few sales and some contacts. This was a well established show - over 20 years so it drew a big crowd. Unlike the first show, there was no rain! Yeah! This being the 2nd show - we were also more relaxed. I know that I need to focus on some smaller items but hopefully I will be combining the art with some quality crafts.

Keep watching my blog and please make comments - it really makes you feel good when people comment.

Thanks

Happy Day!

SHOW!

Things here have been pretty busy - getting ready for a show this weekend ' Art on the Lawn' in Yellow Springs. Wish me well - hope to get more exposure to the public art world!

Had all 4 grandsons this past weekend - we had a great time - went to a museum for a Dragon Exhibit on Friday night, swimming, Butterfly Festival and Dayton Dragons Game all on Saturday! In between time there were kickball games, playing chess, drawing and playing a computer game - that's what happens when you have three 9 year olds and one 5 year old - must keep everyone busy - but I think all had a great time!

Must get back to work!
