Here are a few pieces that I've completed over the years that I haven't sold or misplaced.
The first is a portrait I did of my horse Nick, who I just sold this past fall. It's on 8"x10" sketch paper and done with Prismacolor colored pencils (the only way to go with colored pencils, I swear) and I completed it in late 2005. The original photo was taken by my mom, so Thanks to her for taking such a great pic. My only regret with this piece is the heavy Sharpie outline I thought would make it look better (what was I thinking?) and also the crooked frame I put on it. Otherwise I'm
super happy with the way it came out and I love how accurate the colors look.
This was the family Christmas card for the longest time, as Mom took this piece and had it printed on blank note cards. It didn't take me long to complete this, and it was done by fall of '06 on 8"x10" sketch paper in graphite pencils. I got the original picture from a calendar photo, but messed around with th
e horses' coat colors so they don't look exactly like the originals. I love how the dapples came out on the one horse--I was
experimenting there and was pleasantly surprised how that came out.
