The first and last landscapes are painted from photos I took last summer near my sister's house in Germany. Germany has some of the most beautiful landscapes I have seen. The other painting was from a photo I borrowed from my instructor. Because Idaho is so cold in the winter we were unable to paint en plein air, French for in the open air, but luckily we had a nice stash of photographs to work from.

charcoal of Christ
Here is a drawing that is both charcoal and oil paint on dark canson paper. I have been wanting to do a drawing of Christ for some time now, and, finally, last semester I found the time to do it. He is so important to me.

skippy is his name
So about the picture… I really enjoyed working with the scratchboard, even though it is unforgiving. The way the light hits the scratches it makes the texture look almost like real fur. Another pet squirrel! My husband and I grew so fond of the little guy that we sat him on his own little chair and constantly blamed him for eating all of our snacks.

charcoal of artifact
This is a drawing I started while I was at my parents house for a weekend a few months ago. This artifact was the reason we started taking so many trips to South America to study archeology, so it came to mind when I was looking for something to draw. As soon as I finish it I will give it to my Mom.

pen and ink still life
This is my bathroom counter top with a few artistic liberties. I focused on the details and the texture of each item.
