Colored Pencil Drawings

I believe that drawing is pretty natural for kids; I started with stick figures like everybody else!  I held a pencil before a paintbrush or a camera. 

When doing a realistic drawing, I have to have an image in front of me...a "still life" of some sort. When I draw from pure imagination, the result is very different ! Check out my piece "Run with Scissors" to get a glimpse into my brain! 

All drawings are my original work, and all are for sale. 

 I found a box in an abandoned house that boasted,

"Roll O' Paper"  "Finest Quality"  "25 FEET"

 Being unable to resist any blank paper for pure doodle potential, I took it home. 

I knew that I didn't want to do to realistic, detailed drawings. I decided that this would be an excercise of mind and hand;  Any thought would give way to doodle, no eraser allowed.  

I took out the precious roll of paper, unrolled about two feet...just what fit on my work table...and set down the words," Start to Let your Mind Soar"

I didn't keep track of the hours I spent, but two feet at a time, I worked.  I rolled it back and forth like a scroll and never saw the full length at one time, until it was finished!  Whew!  The final length was 14 feet! 

It ends with the phrase, "Now go Make something"
