Crayons and pencils...your first experiences of applying marks to paper...how much fun it was to see the colors you chose appear on paper. Nothing has changed. Grown up colored pencils continue the experience and the joy.

Rainbows at our feet

Imagine capturing a rainbow and growing it in your garden. The colored foliage of Coleus is every bit as colorful and beautiful as flowers and more unexpected! This little painting is in colored pencil. 'Garden Rainbows' is just 6 x 8 but is a lovely spash of pinks and roses.

Reminders

Grandma's small bedroom and old fashioned furniture hold a host of memories for her that we will never know. Just seeing her room conjures feelings of another world - her world. We can only try to imagine. This small colored pencil painting is just 6 x 4 and is called 'Reminders'.

Unleashed

At Ebey in central Whidbey Island, the field had been harvested, leaving a few old plants. The sun was low and brightening the colors of the fabulous display of color in these past season leaves. What an unexpected delight. "Cabbage Unleashed' is a 6 x 8 colored pencil painting .
