I started to go to car shows a couple of years ago when I started dating a proud '70s Corvette owner. Much to my surprize, I liked it. Particularly the older models. I still know very little about them, but they just look so cool! So, of course I had to start drawing them. The pencil drawings were just for me, most of the paintings were comissioned by the owners of the vehicles.

I decided it was time to let go of some of the drawings I've done, starting with this one. Art by us is a possibly great auction site, all original work sold by the artists themselves. It's very similar to ebay, but free to use (supported by advertising), so the prices don't have to include listing fees unless you want to jazz up the listing . It's gotten so outrageously expensive to get your art listing noticed by even a few people on e-bay that I thought I'd give this a try.

Pansy

April 19

Today's flower is called Pencil Pansy it's 4" x 4". A graphite drawing done once again as an excuse not to have to come indoors on a glorious summer's day (I'm beginning to suspect a pattern here!)

This time, I was in Leichester, England. My former Father in law had retired and was spending a good amount of his time making a well-kept English garden into a showpiece. It was a simply wonderful place to spend time. The care he took was obvious. This little guy with the "cheeky" face was in the border of one of the flower beds.

Dick, former Father in law, engineer, ace gardener and WW2 hero (British corps of Engineers.....yep, one of the men who was rescued by fishing boat from the beaches of Dunkirk) is now 89 years old and in failing health. Makes me a little nostalgic I guess so I dusted this off to show today.

And now for something completely different

This is a pencil drawing that I made one beautiful summers day in Delaware Park, Buffalo. I sat on the grass, looking up at a copy of Michaelangelo's David. I liked the angle of his face (and wanted a good excuse not to go back inside) so brought out the drawing supplies and had a wonderful afternoon in the sunshine!
