Colour Pencil Art
Animals, Critters n Pets
This picture was a commission I had to do. It took a fair bit of planning as the customer described the colours, oriental lean, etcetera that she wanted in the pic. So, with an old piece of blue fabric and a lot of research on dragonflies, I went to work. The entire piece is done in colour pencil, with white gouache and black ink details on mat board. 55cm x 55cm. 2005
Unfortunately lost to the Victorian Black Saturday fires 2009.

What an amazing image….beautiful in all it’s detail. Wonderful work.
wow, this is fantastic!
This is absolutely fabulous!
Lisa, Jen, Denise, thankyou. :)
I LOVE the wing panes. Incredible!
Thankyou Firedrake. Drawing in such detail you soon begin to realize there is NOTHING random in nature. Nature is made up of symmetry, balance and method (amongst other things) So the wings had to be carefully studied, planned and sketched for this picture :)

I’m so glad Kaitlin (Firedrake) told me about you. Even if I hadn’t seen all your work, this one painting would have made my visit worthwhile. Would it embarrass you if I called you a genius?
Perhaps not embarrass, but I do feel….um, hard to explain really. I feel the art I do, or the talent I have is definitely a gift. It is something I am MEANT to do. It heals me and brings joy to others, I dont feel I can take all the credit for this. (but thank you!) :)

The wings remind me of those Tiffany lamps.
I understand what you mean. When you have a God-given talent it’s awkward to take all of the credit, but you certainly deserve a generous share of the praise.
This is absolutely stunning ~ it is so detailed and intricate. I can’t believe it’s not a photograph, it looks so lifelike.
It’s beautiful! A lot of work with colour pencil on that size, amazing.
