This guy was rather a quickie. He's just graphite after all...no color to worry about. I love drawing and this hawk and old oak tree allowed me to indulge in textures and value range like no other! I may have to do another pencil drawing as this one was so satisfying and fun!
Hello Mary, Please accept the Sunshine Blog Award I've given you at my blog. I think your work is incredible and and inspiring. You'll be able to see the rules for accepting the award and why I've given you the award. Cheers
mary, you are a very graced artist... went through the entire blog... you being a trained artist, it may not be appropriate to complement about the composition, color scheme etc. i know, it is in your blood... congratulations...
Guy! How very thoughtful of you! Thank you! And after this long, dreary winter a sunshine award is just the ticket to brighten my blog! I am honored to receive an award from such an accomplished artist! Now...to pass it on...hmmmm!
Dear Jyothisethu! I find it quite amazing that you have seen my blog all the way from India! Thank you for stopping in and for leaving such nice comments! I have never traveled to India but would love to some day. I can only imagine the numerous opportunities to paint such colorful and beautiful scenery. And wouldn't it just be delightful to paint a series of paintings of women in their gorgeous saris sharing a pongola meal?!Heavenly! Thank you for dropping in and giving me the opportunity to dream a little!
Roger! Give me a call, (did I send you my # earlier?) I'd love to meet up with you!
Hi Mary. Congratulations on the Sunshine award. Also congratulations on getting a viewer all the way from India. I remember this drawing and i loved it. It sold at the miniature show...great!
I grew up in culturally diverse San Francisco Bay Area and indulged in all forms of creative venues varying from music and dance to rich visual treats at museums.
I earned a BFA in Graphic Design at CCA and relished in the fine arts and design courses offered there. I graduated just before the dawn of computer graphics applications and have always felt blessed to be one of the last students taught the disciplines of exacting, hands-on skills required of the pre-computerized field. We were trained to apply strict adherence to detail and almost Zen-like focus on precise execution. This disciplined arts oriented ideology has influenced my approach not only to what I do in the studio but to life in general.
Of course, I have learned computer graphics applications since. I would be deceiving myself if I didn’t embrace one of the most amazing and flexible tools available to the modern day artist/designer. I only hope my work reflects that of carefully thought out artistry and evokes sentiments of beauty and balance as good design is meant to do. Hopefully my passion for thought provoking art coupled with love of the outdoors brings you visual contentment and joy.
