		<title>Three Little Stones drawings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent the past two weeks working on these three little stones drawings.  It&#8217;s always fun to do these smaller pieces and work out some ideas quickly.  Well, I suppose quick is a relative term &#8211; quick for me! I have more ideas for little drawings to do in the future, but now I&#8217;m on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Completed Stones Still-life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And Presto-Magic, the rocks appear!!!  I had a lot of fun drawing these stones. The reflections, shadows and distortions were quite challenging, especially where they all converge at the same point.  The most obvious place for this is just under the meniscus line.  The overall color probably isn&#8217;t accurate due to the lighting in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;In a Purple Haze&#8221; stage two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the second stage of my current and very violet/fuschia still life. And Oh Em Gee, it looks like I forgot to draw the stones (wink wink Jeff George)! No, it did not take me two weeks to draw this much of the glass!  I am almost done with the stones.  The colors are [...]]]></description>

		<title>First stage of new drawing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the first stage of my new still-life drawing, and as mentioned in my last post, it&#8217;s very purple &#8211; or fuschia, magenta, plum, eggplant. . . . whatever you want to call it!  It&#8217;s also large (for me) measuring in at 22&#8243; x 16.5&#8243;.  I&#8217;ve completed as much of the background as I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hawaiian Stones drawing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is the little Hawaiian Pebbles drawing I recently finished. My sister-in-law who often visits family in Hawaii gave me these little stones and they are all quite &#8220;aqua&#8221; in tone. But to accentuate them, I photographed them after wetting them in water. It really brought out the colors. If I have time, I plan [...]]]></description>

		<title>CPSA Dallas Convention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Another CPSA Convention has come and gone and what a great one this was in Dallas.   So many artists who are good friends congregated for this annual event that, despite the 100+ heat, I think it&#8217;s safe to say all had an incredible time.  There was a fun member&#8217;s meeting with door prizes, a slide [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Stones drawing complete!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a post of my newest drawing, another &#8220;Balancing Act&#8221;. . . in stages.  I started out, as I mentioned in my last post, working with only Faber-Castell Polychromos on Canson Mi-Tientes peach-toned paper.  I have notated under the images which colors were used in that particular photo/stage (reading left to right, top to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Completed Hawk Piece &#8211; except for a title. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished working on this piece over two weeks ago, and have been keeping it on the back burner, so to speak.  I would just glance at it from time to time, and I&#8217;m finally getting the sense that it&#8217;s done.  It took so long to achieve the feeling I was looking for by combining [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hawk with Squirrel &#8211; now on a wood pile. . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been working so hard on this drawing and it feels like it&#8217;s taking forever.  I am working uninterrupted now that my spring travels are behind me, but it still feels like such slow going!  This drawing is about 22&#8243; x 26&#8243; and there is so much snow and delicate detail to accomplish.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hawk with Squirrel (detail)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The hawk has it&#8217;s squirrel in it&#8217;s talons.  I am enjoying the challenges of this drawing -specificially the creation of all of the blurry masses.  And the contrast between the softness and structure of the hawk and it&#8217;s feathers versus the soft form of the squirrel&#8217;s fur.  I have moved onto the woodpile and adjacent [...]]]></description>
