Precious Priscilla, what a lady!  Well, most of the time...   Pretty much like all our wonderful animal friends.
Colored pencil is a 'natural' for doing fur.  This is a 6" x 4" drawing.

Brushes

So many uses for a simple tool made of a stick of wood with hairs or bristles attached in a bunch at one end...brooms, toothbrushes, wire brushes, brushes for basting, makeup, painting - houses, fingernails, artwork - scrubbing, moving crumbs, grooming hair; it goes on and on. Just to see there is beauty in so simple an object is a delight. I hope you enjoy this small (6 x 4) colored pencil painting called 'Makeup Brushes'.  It was SOLD at the Coupeville Arts Festival Juried Art Show in 2011

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.

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 .
