"Young Stripes"

graphite

16" x 18"

Well, Christmas and New Year's Day have come and gone. We've had some very happy holidays here at our house. All four kids were home for Christmas, including my eldest son who is in the Navy. I've been getting a little art done, but now am ready to get back into the full swing of things, so hopefully I'll be posting more often. I realized that I never posted the completed drawing of the young zebra that I was working on back in October. It's been finished and sitting in a drawer for awhile. I finally got around to getting a picture of it.

"Pitchers and Pears"

colored pencil

12" x 24"

I recently received word that my colored pencil drawing "Pitchers and Pears" was juried into the 52nd Annual Delta Exhibition. The Delta will be held at the Arkansas Arts Center from Jan 29th to March 14th, 2010. The juror this year is Chicago Art Institute Curator Martha Tedeschi. She will be giving a lecture this Thursday night (Jan 7th) at the Arts Center in Little Rock. I hope to attend as long as the snow flurries in the weather forecast don't get too deep.
