Keyhole Flower Red
Nothing special with this drawing. It’s a small pencil rendition of a flower with the mat cut in a “keyhole” shape. Making small pieces allows you to add a nice touch of art in unusual spots around the house.

Pecan
The view of a pecan from the top. Or is it from the bottom?
Oh, BTW, it’s pronounced “peh-kahn.” Any other dialect is just plain wrong.

African Antelope
The ink of a broad felt-tip marker used on regular ol’ posterboard will “bleed” a little. That makes it fun. And even though they’re called “permanent” markers the drawing will probably not last too many years.

Soccer Field Medic
One of the more important duties that come with being a youth coach is acting as an on-the-spot medic for all the afflictions, real and imagined, that crop up during the course of the big game.
This drawing comes from a photo I took during one of the soccer tournaments I used to administer. (I have to use the term “soccer” so I won’t confuse my American friends by writing “football.”)
I decided to be clever with the matting by cutting in and adding band-aids, complete with little stickers. I’m not sure it really worked but it was fun trying to do something a little different.

Two More Dentists
That family of dentists continues to grow. About a year and a half ago I posted a conglomerate of drawings of four dentists, all in one family. Since then two more family members have joined the ranks of dentistry and I was asked to do pencil drawings of the newbies to add to the collection. Here is the entire group; the additions on the far right:

Resting Dancer
Darn. I never could get the color settings right. The original has a slightly more blue tint to it, including the color of the paper. Oh well. This is another practice drawing. The source was from a magazine photo.

Dueling Rams
I don’t know what these rams are arguing about but it might be because Mary had a little lamb.
