A Daisy Today

"Daisy"

ACEO - 2.5 x 3.5"

colored pencil drawing on wood veneer

This has been a very busy and productive week for me; however, none of the busy-ness included making art. Oh, there were a few jabs at the sketch book, some planning and some creative thinking, but no real time for drawing or painting.

I was only able to get this little ACEO done. I drew it with colored pencils directly onto a small sheet of wood veneer. This is another technique where you can frame the piece without glass. Just a spray of acrylic varnish and its all set.

But I wonder, does the lack of time to make art cause other artists to become as cranky as I have been this week?

Woodworks

Daisy, Pansy & Daylilly

All 3 pieces in their frames.

After taking a week away from the studio, I am itching to start a new, involved project. But, as usual, there's always some annoying interruption or another, like bills and taxes!

So, I am showing you, once again, some not-so-recent work that I hope you will enjoy looking at no matter that these flowers are not "fresh".

These pieces were done in colored pencil on wood panels, sealed with a clear acrylic varnish and framed without glass. Each one measures 4 x 4" (6 x 6" in the frames) and is mounted and ready to hang. They are each available for $90 framed or $250 for all three (plus shipping) E-mail me if you are interested at rtucker@funtrail.com.

Winter in Cancun

The promise of March is "in like a lion"... If it's true, we are in for one heck of a nice end of the month. It's snowing here, again. So today I decided to do a small drawing of a beach we once visited in the winter in Cancun. I would love to be there right now.

This piece is done in colored pencil on wood. It only measures 3 x 5". For $50, I'll gladly send this little drawing to you. Send me an e-mail if you're interested.
