“THANK YOU” AnitaInverarity, for buying a print!! This is a colored pencil drawing that I created. The ink border is drawn free hand by me and then filled in with archival ink. The border and drawing: all on the same sheet, My borders are not separate from the drawings. This is a mixed media piece. I used prismacolor pencils and archival ink for the border. I used Strathmore, Vellum Bristol, 100# paper. / The total image size is 6.5” wide x 16.5” tall. I love to use vellum bristol for colored pencil work and smooth bristol for pen work. This drawing is mixed and totally on the vellum bristol paper. Any proceeds from the sale of this work on RB will be donated to The Philadelphia Mission. http://www.philadelphia33.org/
From an exhibition called Sundays.

Everything is long on a giraffe; the neck, the legs…..and the tongue. Paul Jackson’s elegant creature’s neck leaving and coming back into frame in this painting emphasizes what’s not there as well as the artist’s creative vision. The watercolor is one of a series featuring wildlife.
