Home Run

Just another pencil to stretch my wings...Home Run pencil, 8x16

Inch by inch...

One thing that most people don't understand if they are not artists, is how long pencils take to do. It may be one of the most unappreciated mediums out there. By the time this small piece is done, it will have 20-25 hours in it.

Something new...

I decided to put the oils aside for a while and tackle a few more projects. This is a pencil titled Wild Horses. I work on the pastels during the day, and do the pencils at night while sitting upstairs with my husband. So you will see the progression of several paintings at once.

On the board...

This is my newest painting. It is a commission that I have been working on for a couple of weeks. As you can see, it is running horses...a big stretch for me! I can't come up with a title, so any suggestions would be welcome. It is a pastel.
