“A Woman by the Sea,” is a simple #2 pencil drawing done on tan card stock. I love the look of pencil on paper. I hope to offer some more of these simple drawings in the future. As an artist it is always good to get back to the basics and just drawing.

Today’s art entitled “Flowers in Yellow Pot” is done in entirely colored pencil. I must admit while I like the final result using the blue paper did not give the pop of color I was looking for.

I went back to my roots for this one. I picked up a pencil and a picture and drew with a simple #2 a picture of a girl. The piece is entitled “Fairy lovely girl” because the girl kind of reminds me of a fantasy drawing of a fairy or a female elf.

I have just started experimenting with colored pencil this year. I have used pastels before and thought the colored pencils would blend in a similar manner to the colored pencils but boy was I wrong. Colored pencils I have found have a temperament all their own but I am having fun learning what I can and can’t do with pencils. In that light today’s drawing entitled “Flowers in Boot” I had started last year but finished for this challenge. Please forgive me for bending the rules just a little.

Today I decided to offer up a simple picture entitled The Butterfly. The picture is a simple pencil outline filled in with colored pencil. While the piece is very subtle in nature I like the way it turned out. I have learned over the years that sometimes the less fuss which goes into a piece of art the better the piece turns out.

One of my favorite paintings I’ve ever painted was something like this one, it was a little girl standing on the beach watching her balloon fly off into the sky. This one, entitled A Boy and His Cat, is similar in it’s simplicity. The drawing is on white paper, outlined in pen and lightly colored.

Well here’s another one, a portrait drawing that is meant to resemble the person I am drawing but with bigger eyes. Although this one did not turn out the way I had hoped I still feel like I am making progress. Yeah, determination combined with inspiration.
Today’s art is a rough drawing done with a #2 pencil. I tried this picture a number of time but am still not satisfied with the end result. However this blog is not always about the finished product but about learning as I go. Oh yeah sorry for the name change to Daily Art but I figured since some of the pieces were finished pieces and others weren’t the new name more fit the bill.
