Here's another drawing from the rodeo here in Junction a few weeks ago. These guys really earn their points - and for those who think the horses aren't well treated - they are beautifully cared for and truly valued by their owners. I also did a painting from this drawing, which I'll probably post at some point. Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Bow in Her Hair - original graphite pencil portrait drawing
This drawing began from life, but, alas, what young person wants to sit for a portrait - not many. And I tried letting her watch a movie while I drew, but the pose kept changing, so - thank goodness for cameras! You know, of course, that I'm not much of a photographer, but I did the best I could, and here we are - 11 x 14" on Borden and Riley Paris paper for pens. I love that slick surface for drawing. Thanks for stopping by!

The Print Shirt - original pencil portrait drawing
This 13 x 10" drawing began life as a pose taken by the little girl, but then I realized the futility of having a youngster try and hold a pose for a long time, so I took a picture of her and mostly drew from that. Drawing from life has its limits when dealing with children. Actually, I don't think I could hold a pose for any length of time. I cringe when the model doesn't show and we have to take turns posing. Just like waiting to give a book report in middle school, I always hope the session will end before I must take my turn. This is on wonderful Stonehenge white paper and instead of using charcoal, as I usually do, it's done with a graphite pencil. Pencil just has a sort of softness that I like for children. Thanks so much for stopping by! Sold
