                                                  Sketches of border collies and sheep
                               
I love border collies, maybe it's their look, black and white and their wonderful expressions, not to mention that they are very hard workers. 

Practice sketches

These are sketches of a kit fox, a cat, and working border collies.  I am practicing movement in animals.  Sketches are done in rotring pen and pencil.

With the arrival of spring, the birds have been so busy.  These sketches done in gouache and the Rotring Pen.

Pretty Wolf

Painting of wolf on watercolor paper in gouache from my photo taken at Lakota Wolf Campground.  The racoon sketched in Kuretake pens, and taken from free photo website recommended by Hilda.  Last, studies of wolf silhouettes for Red Moon Silhouette. 

This and that

A little of this and that, a fox I saw while driving on the road along the dunes, Lewes Beach. I stopped and made a quick thumbnail to remember it, and then painted using gouache.   Backyard feeding at my house using jet pens,  and Annie, relaxing in her favorite spot, the sofa. (graphite)

Red Moon Silhouette

Red Moon Silhouette

On my evening winter walks with my dogs, I am fascinated with the clarity of the moon and stars.  It's as if I could reach them and pull one down.  I recently read about the lunar eclipse whereby the earth comes between the moon and the sun giving it a red glow.  This painting done in acryllic, 11x14.

Chickadee

Chickadee

I have been trying to post for over a month now.  Finally, tonight for some unknown reason I was able to.  I am still having problems posting on other blogs. 

The chickadees are one of my favorite birds.  This painting done in pastel.
