Gallery - Physical Art - Drawings

Charcoal, pastel, oil pastel, pencil, colored pencil, and pen-and-ink drawings I have made, both in class and in my free time.

five dogs for aileen (33k)

This drawing was done for Aileen Burkett, who wanted a picture of all five of her dogs together. Clockwise from the top center they are Boomer, Sluggo, Digger, Sultan, and Lady. (18"x24")

beagle color (42k)

This pastel drawing was one of 4 pictures done as the final project for an art class in college. The project explored drawing in color versus black-and-white. (20"x21.5")

beagle bw (50k)

This charcoal drawing was the second of 4 pictures done as the final project for an art class in college. The project explored drawing in color versus black-and-white. (20"x21.5")

beach cattails (36k)

This pastel drawing was a personal project, drawn from a photo that just really inspired me. (18"x24")

dawn patches (32k)

This was done in pastels for my first college art class, in memory of my cat Patches, who had recently gone over the rainbow bridge. (18"x24")

shoes (33k)

This was done with pastels for a high-school art class. I think the assignment involved creating a composition from pictures taken from magazines. (18"x24")

I drew this with pastels as a gift for my good friend Tricia Dikes, but it came out so well that I had to make a photocopy to keep for myself. (11"x14")

This was done for a class. The four tigers are in four different media (clockwise from upper-left): pen and ink, colored pencil, charcoal, oil pastel. (16.5"x28")

This was another class assignment, done in pencil from a very bad photocopy provided in class. (18"x24")
