I did this graphite pencil drawing from a photograph I took while at my friend’s ranch recently. It’s drawn on slightly textured paper, giving it a little different look. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art prints at my etsy store! http://www.etsy.com/shop/nolimitsart If you like my graphite pencil drawings, you [...]
I could tell you the real story behind this graphite pencil drawing, but I’m not going to. You’ll have to guess what was going on at the time. Maybe this little cowgirl was attending her pet rabbit’s funeral, or perhaps she had gotten into trouble and was apologizing for her error. You have the luxury of imagining [...]
Here’s another graphite pencil drawing of a snoozing Arabian foal done on the scene. It isn’t as detailed as some of my drawings, but hopefully captured the moment. Little nose stuck to the ground. Too cute. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art prints at my etsy store! http://www.etsy.com/shop/nolimitsart If [...]
It’s that time of year for all the new foals to arrive! This graphite pencil drawing of an Arabian foal was done one afternoon lately while I was visiting my friend’s ranch. I actually did several drawings that afternoon, and will be posting them soon, some done from life, others from photographs I took. Hope [...]
I did this graphite pencil drawing from a painting of a bright red poppy I’d done last year. I love the high contrast in this drawing.

As long as I can remember, I’ve always had at least one dog in my life, and so, consequently, so did my kids. This graphite pencil drawing is of my daughter and her dog, Shannon, patiently watching TV while waiting for Easter dinner to be served. Although the house was bustling with activity and noise, they both seemed [...]
Floral graphite drawings are always fun to do. I did this one tonight as a preliminary study for a larger drawing (or maybe even a painting) I’ll start tomorrow. Now with spring’s arrival, there will be lots of subject matter available. Yeah! I’m ready. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art prints [...]
This graphite pencil drawing has pariticular meaning to me. Years ago I lived on a 5 acre ranchette and among the residents were a couple of really obnoxious geese. They honestly were better watch dogs than the dogs were and in fact, had the mailman so frightened, he refused to get out of the mail truck to deliver [...]
Arabian horses are incredible animals, and I wanted to do a graphite pencil drawing that captured the grace, power and intelligence of this breed. Although I don’t any longer own horses, nor did I ever actually ride them, I love their beauty and do still enjoy going to horse shows with camera in hand.
Over the years there have been many cats in my life that have come and gone, providing endless subject matter for drawings. I’ll be posting more feline drawings regularly. This particular kitty was Samantha, and oddly enough, she had 6 toes on each front paw. I should have named her Thumbs, but that just seemed [...]
