Graphite Goddess

Here’s a digitally enhanced photo of a beautiful orange Canna Lily. It’s now available at Fine Art America!

Just entered this image into a contest at Fine Art America. It’s in second place at the moment! Woohoo. I took photos of some spectacular yellow roses awhile back and then used one of my programs to do some digital manipulating and give this beauty a different background! I love the way it turned out!

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! UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite [...]

The Columbine flower is the state flower of Colorado. It’s a wildflower that grows in temperate climates. Here’s a graphite pencil drawing of this delicate and gorgeous flower. Can hardly wait for them to bloom again this year. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art prints at my etsy store! [...]

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. A high resolution image of this beautiful rose drawing is available at http://suzanne-schaefer.artistwebsites.com, printed on canvas or paper. You can even get it matted and [...]

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. UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images [...]

I really do love roses, but only as subject matter for graphite pencil drawings or paintings. Growing them is far too tricky (and time consuming) for me. Heck, I do well to get my lawn mowed during the summer! I’d rather be drawing! UPDATE: May, 2011 My graphite images are now available as signed art [...]

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.
