New work

Filed under: colored pencil,Nature Still-life — Debbi @ 4:10 pm

I am posting a photograph of the new piece I’ve started, and I’m going to let this series unfold a little differently. I’ll be posting stages of the work about once a week, and not including much commentary. I welcome any comments, questions, or feedback on the drawing. This photograph is, unfortunately, not the best quality. Thank you!

What lies ahead

Filed under: Musings — Debbi @ 1:13 pm

I’m giving a lot of thought as to what to proceed with, and have been photographing raptors and owls at a nearby Audubon Sanctuary as well as photographing down at RockRidge Pond, near my house.

I am very excited to have Lynda Schumacher, a talented artist from Michigan, agree to be a guest writer on my blog. Lynda creates sensitive and detailed portraits focusing on Cowhands and Native Americans. We will be posting something soon with some of her artwork, so please check back.
