Recently I've returned to doing pencil drawings again. Here are two of my latest.
Once upon a time I was gainfully employed as a proofreader in a prestigious law firm. How I ever got that job is beyond me, but that's a story for another time. Anyway, we could sometimes go for hours waiting for the lawyers to send in something for us to read. So to pass the time I would set up compositions on my desk with cookies, fruit and soda cans from the well-stocked pantry. And then I'd draw them with colored pencils on copy paper. Looking back, it may have been the best job I ever had. Recently I've returned to doing pencil drawings again. Here are two of my latest. Stay tuned, there's more to come ...

So to breathe easy I would set up creations right in front of me with treats, leafy foods jars from the very much supplied storage space. And afterward I'd draw them with shaded pencils on duplicate paper. Thank you for taking the time to write a great post!

I'm a representational painter enchanted by the unique qualities of watercolor. Sometimes oils, gouache, colored pencils and other media call to me too. I started this blog to share my work and ideas about making art. Sometimes I toss other things into the mix. Such as painters I love, and art books and exhibits that inspire me. Your comments are welcome. I'd love to hear from you! Recent PostsCategories
