I may have to do a painting, in addition to this graphite pencil drawing, of an American Kestrel. They are gorgeous birds of prey with blue, orange, white and black feathers. Very striking.

This is a graphite pencil drawing of Joey, a very smart Boston Terrier. I’ve never actually owned a Boston Terrier, but did foster one a while ago. He, too, was very smart, however, he had a horrible farting problem. I don’t know if that was because of all the diet changes he had been through [...]
This graphite pencil drawing of a siamese cat reminds me of “Two-she”, a beautiful stray siamese cat who showed up at our front door one morning when my son was only 3. She hung around for weeks when I finally said, ”We’ve already got a female cat. I don’t think we can keep her.” My son replied, [...]
In this graphite pencil drawing of a British Blue cat, I focused on two things: the backlighting and those eyes. Capturing light reflections in eyes can sometimes be a tricky thing, but it’s critical, in my opinion, to the success of a drawing. How’d I do?

These young saw-whet owls appear to need some time to grow into their magnificent adult feathers. I tried to capture their still “fuzzy” appearance in this graphite pencil drawing. Once fully grown, they will have very striking plummage, for sure. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art prints at my [...]
Meet Twiggy, a chihuahua. A spoiled rotten chihuahua who belonged to my surrogate Mom. I did this graphite pencil drawing of the little darling as a surprise for Mom’s birthday. I think she liked it.

This is a graphite pencil drawing of my friend’s male Pomeranian dog, Rascal. He’s tiny, but doesn’t know it. He pees on everything, marking his territory. I plead with his owner to get him neutered. He refuses. That’s gotta be a guy thing! I like Rascal, he’s a darling little dog, but he is no [...]
Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of two macaws. They are incredible birds. I used to own one named Raoul. Looking back, I wonder what I was thinking. They are very beautiful, intelligent, and charming. They are also a HUGE responsibility. Demanding, like a small child. Loud………so loud you can’t believe it. Destructive and dangerous if [...]
Here is the graphite pencil drawing of the roses done as a watercolor painting! You can purchase a giclee print, on paper or canvas, of the copyrighted painting at Fine Art America Pretty cool, huh?
