I don’t really have a great story to tell about this graphite pencil drawing. I don’t even know this man’s name. He was a fisherman on his boat, and I loved the expression on his face ~ thoughtful, contemplative, perhaps worried.
Ok, I confess. I haven’t done any graphite pencil drawing in a few days to post on here, but…….here’s why. I just happened by the paint recycling place late last week. It’s where you can get free paint that’s been turned in by others. Well, I came home with $600 worth of art paint, stuff [...]
Remember back awhile to the horrible Australia fires, and the story of the fireman who graciously shared his water bottle with a little injured Koala Bear. That story inspired this graphite pencil drawing. I hope by now that little bear is able to relax and trust enough to look like the one in this drawing!
This is a quick graphite pencil sketch of Blue, one of my neighbor’s Irish Setters. He’s terrific, friendly, always waggin’ that big tail. He was staring at me for attention when I snapped his photo, and when I saw the photo I had to laugh right out loud. Blue has one of those noses that [...]
I know this website is all about graphite pencil drawings, but….I also did an acrylic painting of this particular drawing of an Arabain horse. I do that a lot. Thought you might enjoy seeing the bright and bold version, which is available as a giclee print, on paper or canvas, in a variety of sizes, [...]
I was recently commissioned to do a graphite pencil portrait of a couple of cute brothers as a gift for Grandma. I thought you might like to see how well I did (or didn’t…lol) do. If you’d like a portrait of your house, your horse or your honey, please feel free to contact me for [...]

Check it out. Great gift for nature lovers, especially polar bear fans!
Oh sure, they’re darling! And…….what troublemakers. Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of two juvenile racoon siblings who camped out near the shed just waiting for the opportunity to raid the dog food dish! I knew they were there, watching, waiting patiently for the dogs to wander off. Eventually, I had to feed the dogs on [...]
Years ago, I raised Arabian horses and traveled the west coast doing nothing but Arabian horse art. They are amazing, graceful, gorgeous animals and I admit, I was very partial to their elegant ways. I thought Quarter horses, on the other hand, were quite awkward and clumsy looking, not so attractive at all. That all [...]
