Red Cups-Figurative

 Close ups

Graphite on paper...approx 6 1/5x5 
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Lin was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of great photos.

 I went with a couple on the beach. Intriguing to me thinking of all they've been through together.

I did another graphite mainly because of time constraints. This is approx. 6.5x5.5. I used colored pencil on the cups for surprise/shock value. Creates interest.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!


Psalm 100:5, "For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."

Dual Portraits

 Close ups

Graphite on paper...approx 6x6.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Valri was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of great photos.

Even though Valri and Mackenzie aren't officially blood related ( her fiance is the grandfather), I suspect a lot of love and bonding are in the offing. This just seemed like a great pair for a dual portrait.

Just a sketch in graphite and a wee bit of color pencil for variety and accent.
Approx. 6x6.

C&C welcome. Thanks for stopping to look and leaving a comment!  

Psalm 37:4-5       "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act."

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Li was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of colorful photos!


I really wanted to do a painting of these goslings, But since I was running short of time went a quicker route...graphite.

 This is Sue,. She was the hostess this week. I just had to try sketching her portrait. Loads of character and personality. The viewer can't help but wonder, "what is she thinking??".

Softness-Child Portrait

 Close ups

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Valri was the host and provided a bunch of great photos!

 This is in pencil with touches of warm brown colored pencil on Cotman water colour pad. It's approx 7x7. The hardest thing is in knowing when to set the pencil down and stop.

I tried to take a soft approach to this little girl's portrait. It can be very difficult to keep edges soft. I especially try to avoid hard lines in the features of a child. Easier said than done.

This is acrylic, graphite, colored pencil, and a dab of ink via Uni Pin on Cotman Water Colour pad.
Approx.9"x7".

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Mary was the host and provided a bunch of great photos! Mary issued a challenge to do this week's painting on a surface you have not painted on before..... So this is in answer to the challenge. Though I have painted in this pad a few times, it's still comparatively new to me.
The girl is Felicity.... Felicity's gaze really spoke to me.
