Learning to Knit

I got back into colored pencil work with this drawing. It is a drawing of my niece's hands, as she tried to learn to knit. I gave the drawing to her as a gift.

Portrait

I drew this little boy for his grandmother.

Big Jake

This is the first colored pencil portrait that I've done in a long time. I was please with the way it came out.

This logo was designed by Gayle for our Sunday School class. We are the 24/7 class because we live for Jesus 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.

Update from Patti

No image to post this time - just an update. I'm working with color again! I'm working on my first color drawing in years. It's about time, isn't it?. This one isn't a commission - it is just a fun drawing. I'm really enjoying it, and if it turns out well, I'll post it on the blog. If it turns out well I hope to sell it.

Also, Gayle has done a lot of work over the past couple of years that I'm planning to post. He has designed tee-shirts, programs for school plays, ads, a media guide for a high-school basketball team and other things that can be shared. He's going to send me some image files that I can post soon.

Portrait of Mark Twain

This portrait of Mark Twain was commissioned by a University Library for a "Mark Twain" room. I was really happy to get the commission. It was my first commission for someone other than a private individual. I finished this in January, 2009.

Portrait of Michelle Sullivan

This is a commissioned portrait that I did more than a year ago. I never got around to posting it. I've been having an artistic dry spell, but I'm back at it now and catching up my blog.

Portrait of Ken and Marcie Behrens

This portrait is of a very special friend and his new bride. It was created as a wedding gift for them.

Commissioned Portrait

This portrait was drawn in 2006. I thought I had
lost my copy of it in a hard drive crash. I was glad
to find a copy of it on another computer.

Commissioned Portrait

This drawing was a little more difficult than some of my other recent commissions because of the lighting.
