A 'Shroom Home on Silvery Tree Path!

Printed several moons ago from a slide of an actual photograph, then saved and published, this image of my drawing 'Shroom Home on Silvery Tree Path is actually an illustration from the first children's (dummy) book written and drawn by yours truly.

Over time the image had yellowed, in part due to the embossing I had applied with a "silver" oil pencil (which was aluminum - ex: the raindrops!) to the original drawing on black paper so I've adjusted the digital image's tone, saturation, etc., and present for you here what is hopefully a more viewable version of my drawing:

Natalie's New Chapeau!

Here's a sneak peek at a brand new fanciful figure study as yet incomplete: Natalie's New Chapeau!

Efforts to complete Natalie are planned and are on my drawing board, we might say. Meanwhile, you're always invited to browse my portfolio of drawings at Fine Art America whenever you wish. And while you're there, ordering a tea or coffee mug would be encouraging and much appreciated!

A Splendid Portrait drawn by a 6-year-old!

One day, when my granddaughter Violet was six years old, she selected a purple piece of construction paper and depicted a splendid portrait of the two of us, both enjoying a good hair day, as you see. So here it is, directly from my drawing table where she and I spent many hours together creating and laughing!

ps: the white spot is an imperfection on the paper.
