It took me 4 years to learn Wilsonia, plan the book, take the photos, design the book, gather the quotes and complete 272 drawings. The book is available here: The Cabins of Wilsonia Here is another drawing for you from the book. Thanks for looking!
Happy Recipients
Here are some works of art that were done for Christmas gifts. I heard back from 3 of the 5 about the happiness of the recipients. The fourth and fifth are most likely very happy – an email and a phone call would confirm it, but I don’t like fishing for praise. So, I will […]
Commission of Cats with Colored Eyes
Remember, Mr. Customer chose view “C” – a Commission of Cats with Colored eyes? Here it is, Tabby as a kitten and an adult, Sasha as a kitten and an adult. The kitten on the lower right is perched on some sort of a figurine. I don’t know what it is, but Sasha is in […]

Cats!
For someone who does not consider herself a kitty-puppy artist, I seem to be over-run by pencil drawing commissions of cats and dogs. That’s okay. I love to draw in pencil. First, the sketch. The customer chose C. Second, begin the real drawing. Third, keep drawing. When I told a friend about this drawing, I […]
Dogs!
I have no intention of becoming a kitty–puppy artist. However, when I receive commissions to draw cats or dogs, if the photos are decent and I have the time, I usually say yes to those jobs. This one began with sketches, as most commissioned pencil drawings do. Not quite it. More sketches requested. Mr. Customer […]
Cat Commission Collage
A customer has asked me to draw 2 cats, each one as a kitten and as an adult cat. Have I ever mentioned that I might maybe perhaps just may have a teensy bit of a Cat Disorder? Ahem. Probably not. But still. . . The customer sent me the photographs of his cats, and […]
Cabin Commission Completed
That would be “commissioned pencil drawing of a Wilsonia cabin completed”, but that title was stupid-long. This drawing is 12×16″, and chock full of details. (What does “chock full” mean??) It has been a couple of weeks since you saw the progression, so let’s review. First, the sketches so the customer could choose the angle. […]
Margie’s Sunflower
My drawing students do excellent work. I encourage each one to choose something she loves. because she will be looking at it for a lonnnnng time. (or he – currently I have 2 guy students). They each have subjects that interest them, and it is so fun to help them figure out how to best portray […]
