You Know You’re A California Artist When. . . Part 3

It was getting a bit long yesterday so here is the rest of my pencil version of California artist.

5. . . . the houses you draw often have palm trees.

6. . . . sometimes you draw poppies.

7. . . and you keep drawing oranges because everyone likes them.

8. . . . you wade through dirt clods in your friend’s vineyard to get good photos of grapes for drawing.

Sweet and Seedless, colored pencil, matted and framed, 12×15″, $150

Fruit on the Vine, reproduction of pencil with colored pencil accents, 11×14″, $20

9. . . . you draw lots and lots of Giant Sequoias and call them “big trees” but think of them as Redwoods because you went to Redwood High School

  1. I love the addition of color to the blacks and whites. We’ll talk about adding one to our Red Hill cabin, ok?

    • Thank you, Steven! I love to pop a colored flag into a graphite drawing, or a little color into some wildflowers in a graphite drawing of scenery.

  2. You delight me and I just laugh and giggle with a big smile on my face everytime I sit down to just enjoy your blog.
    Go Rangers.

    • Deb, notice I didn’t mention the highest peak in the contiguous United States. . . you Rangerette, you!
