I love to dabble in small paintings. Both of these are 5×7 paintings. The first one is done in color pencil. The second one is done in acrylics.

One of my most recent flower paintings. This one is done in soft pastels on 6×9 white drawing paper.

The Furst Gnomes attracts a lot of attention from all the little gnomelings because of their resemblance to a certain other figure. This drawing is done in watercolor pencil and soft pastels on my favorite canvas, an old book page.

The Furst Gnome like to hang human size stockings because he thinks he will get more stuff, whatever stuff Gnomes get. This drawing is my usual soft pastels on an old book page.

The Furst Gnome just figured out his Christmas list and boy is he frustrated. Today’s drawing was done using pen and soft pastels.

This 18×20 acrylic painting started out as as me playing with unique methods of applying paint. The underlying part of the painting was done by scraping the paint across the canvas. The second layer was done using a bath puff. This is whe an image of the girl appeared to me. The last layer of the white dress was done with a bath puff and the rest was done using the usual paint brushes.

Once you get your Christmas tree you have to get it home. This latest illustration, done on an old book with soft pastels and color pencils, pays homage to the age old tradition of getting your perfect tree home.

The drawing on the left is a quick sketch of a father and daughter looking for the perfect tree. The drawing is done in color pencil. The one on the right was done using acrylic paints and soft pastels.

The flower in the blue vase was created using soft pastels brushed with water. The background is another old book page. The flower on the right is done on a 4×8 piece of white card stock using acrylic paints.
