Backyard Scene

This little guy spends a lot of time in my back yard. The angle of the photo of the drawing makes his ears look shorter than they actually are in the sketch.

Little Ed

I drove past this pony almost every day. I stopped to take some photos of him ages ago and he has finally made it into a drawing.

Woody Wants a Peanut

Decided to go for a walk out at Lemoine's today - cold weather and all. Mitts and a hat and you're all set right? We took peanuts and sunflower seeds for the birds. Strangely there weren't that many chickadees in the market for seeds today. A half dozen fat squirrels were around and we saw three nuthatches who are very polite little fellows. But the craziest was this little woodpecker. He wanted a peanut so bad but couldn't figure out how to land on a hand. Misty finally held it up to him and he took it from her palm while he held onto the tree trunk.

Garbage Picker

Was out walking one morning in late summer and saw this crow on the garbage bag. Really grainy photo on my iPhone so the crow in the sketch is getting replaced with the one I worked out afterwards that is above the sketch.


Just need to decide on size... And then match the two up...

Sketched this from a picture I took on my walk. The way the light was hitting the porch, paper and boots caught my eye. The boots and door are red...



Will be a painting at some point...
