Squash Blossom

Conducted a Graphite Drawing lesson for everyone today in class…sometimes I even forget the simple beauty of just the pencil…
Naturally, I go to my love of the endless shapes, curves,and shadows in the faces of the Native American People.
This is a graphite drawing, using a #2 pencil and drawn on card stock, bonded, low tooth, acid free artist drawing paper.
This original is for sale.

Thank you for viewing my art.

    Yes, we got about 6 inches and it is icy under the snow. It is also very cold. I remember Thompson Canyon from one of those storm stories on the weather channel. There was a terrible flood there about 20 years ago. I think we are going to have aterrible winter. xo
