"Gone Bananas"

Just finished another colored watercolor pencil painting of "Gone Bananas".  Was done a on a 9 x 12 Stonehenge Rising paper.  Getting to really enjoy the results one can get with these pencils.
Always look forward to comments.

Dahlia in Pink



This painting is a whole new medium for me.  New ....meaning it was done with Watercolor Pencils on 8 x 10 Arches 140 CP watercolor paper.  I have painted in watercolors before out of the tube but never with the pencils.  I must say I enjoyed this method of painting.  Hope to do more in the near future.  I want to give credit to Rosalind Amorin for the great photo reference.

"Zoey"

This special little Havanese named "ZOEY" is a very dear pet which belongs to my daughter Kerry and her family.  She has become part of our lives here also.  I have been wanting to do a portrait of her for the longest time.  I did this in colored pencils on 9 x 12 Art Spectrum colourfix paper.  I used mostly Prismacolor and for highlights I enjoy using Polychromo white.  In her eyes I used acrylic white to give them a great highlight.
Always look forward to all critiques and comments.
