An End-Of-2020 Art Update from pencil artist Jude Cowell December 26, 2020 : If you by chance follow my Instagram feed at all you may have seen the first scan of my Portrait of 'Monica Rose' which, in its in-progress state, shows a whole bunch of black paper, unpenciled as of then (December 22nd). Only the bare basics are committed to paper because you have to start somewhere! Well, below is the second scan ( v2 ) of my drawing which is quite a bit more completed as of today. Yet as every artist knows, decisions must be made soon concerning 'her' background (if any! or should I leave her 'floating'?), the color/s of her eye shadow, the rest of the mandala behind her, and any other finishing touches which may be required. Naturally, once such decisions are made and perpetrated, a final v3 version of Monica Rose will be published - either here in this very gallery, or perhaps in my Jude Cowell Art Portfolio at Fine Art America where she might turn up as ...

June 17, 2020: Here's my pencil drawing Troubles Can Swim which I'm publishing here on Secret Moon Art . If memory serves, the drawing's original appearance occurred in my now-shuttered art collection Cosmic Persona Designs . But here it is: Note that this drawing was conceived and perpetrated as a mild social commentary on demon alcohol! And if you wish check out my Jude Cowell Art Portfolio where you can browse 24/7.

Since today is June 1, 2020 a new fanciful figure study seemed a good idea for Secret Moon Art! So freshly completed, here is a close-up from my Portrait of Gina Relaxing : And non! Pardon but you cannot view the rest of the drawing because you may be way too far on the youngish side!! For 24/7 art browsing visit my Jude Cowell Art Portfolio .

April 19, 2020 : Here's my pencil on paper rendition of Primula Viallii Blossoming in Moonlight and it seems that a flower fairy has shown up!

Back in the late 1990s into the mid-2000s I did quite a few children's illustrations. One such, drawn for a dummy book I never did anything with entitled, Silvery Tree Path (in which fairies appeared unbidden in my drawings for the first time!), is shown below. And since today (January 2, 2020) and tomorrow in Raleigh NC, "soaking" rain is in the forecast, I'm publishing 'ShroomBrella because it seems that I may be needing one! If you like, Please Share!

October 23, 2019: here's a view of a fanciful figure study, A Portrait of Muriel Higgins : Pardon! In this scan Muriel looks a bit faded out which is an unfortunate feature of my scanner now placed on a belly-up watch. Any day now it will go belly up and I'll return to an HP printer-scanner, the brand I never should have left! Available for browsing 24/7: Jude Cowell Art Portfolio . Favorites around here are Derwent Watercolour Pencils and Prismacolor Oil Pencils on black paper. Note that one or both videos may include an #ad .

The Mystic Biscuit Tea Room! a pencil drawing by Jude Cowell .

A certain constellation sparkled directly overhead at the moment of my birth and it often turns up prominently or subtly within my cosmic drawings of the night sky. Here's a 'starry night drawing' for you that I'm calling Constellation Orion and the Full Moon : You're cordially invited to browse a variety of drawings in my fine or not so fine Art Portfolio if you wish by visiting Fine Art America!

Presenting Lulu's Lipstick , an oil and watercolor pencil design by Jude Cowell .

While searching tonight for a certain path'n'portal illustration in my files, I instead tripped across the image below and am uncertain whether it was ever published anywhere--and note that in person, the paper is blacker than it appears here, which of course also depends on the device you're using. Anyway, check out an incomplete drawing 'Path to an Unknown Destination' which is how it feels these days under the Trump regime to live in a sabotaged America: Looks as if the drawing was left about 1/3 of the way through... Images in this online art gallery (since 2005!) are compliments of Jude Cowell Art where you're welcome to browse 24/7.

Look! It's a page of collage, pencil, and ink from my 2012 'Fractured Fashions' sketchbook which I suppose still languishes among the 2012 Project Sketchbooks of other artists in the Brooklyn Art Library : Plus, you're cordially invited to browse my portfolio of drawings at Jude Cowell Art .
