Wow, Donna, this is stunning work. Love it!
Donna Huntriss replied
Thanks Anne! I have been going through my photos of my art works and this one really stood out for me. It was a messy job with all the blue and purple pencils though!

Fantastic work Donna & your seahorses are amazing. They’d make a great series…
Donna Huntriss replied
Thanks Leny! This was a one off from a few years ago. I really should be getting back to the seascapes too!

Thanks Fesseldreg! Maybe I should do more seahorses in the future too! I think I am going to be a busy girl when I get back from Overseas!

Fabulous painting..so well done!
Donna Huntriss replied
Thanks Cahterine! It is actually a coloured pencil drawing on an A1 piece of paper. It took me about two days to do. And there for a while I did not really want to see another blue pencil after it!

Donna Huntriss replied
Thanks Leah! I try just about anything as far as some media goes, but growing up, coloured pencils were my mainstay! I used to work in really large format too. I did a mural installation of 6 A1 drawings for a local politician’s office. It was a HUGE job, but enjoyable!
