Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of brilliant red and yellow pansies growing in my flower box. They are one of the earliest flowers to bloom in the spring here in the Pacific Northwest. I think there’s even one called “winter pansies”, but I’d have to look that up to be sure. And…….who cares? They’re all [...]
Now that spring is here, I’m back to doing flower drawings! Here is a single rose graphite pencil drawing done from one of many photos of the yellow roses in my front yard. It’s too early for them to be blooming this year, but it won’t be long now. Yipee!

It won’t be long now before the roses are blooming for the season. Can hardly wait! Here’s another graphite pencil drawing of the beauties! Roses really are on of my favorite subjects to draw.

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?
It’s still too early for any iris to be blooming, but I am so ready for this winter to be over and all the flowers to appear! Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of the blooms from last year’s crop. Too bad they don’t last any longer than they do.

Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of a spring blossom for you. I actually had to do something to remind myself spring is right around the corner…….there is 5 inches of snow on my deck today! Argh.
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.
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.
