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 […]
2015 Cabin Calendars for Sale
There are still a few of the 2016 calendars, “The Cabins of Tulare County” for sale. This calendar is a collection of pencil drawings of cabins in Tulare County. (Captain Obvious speaks again.) It is heavy on Wilsonia, followed by Mineral King, and there is one token Camp Nelson. These drawings are gathered from the […]
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. […]
Cabin Commission Continued
Thank you, Veterans. You probably didn’t want to go, probably didn’t like being there, maybe questioned why, but you did it so we didn’t have to. Thank you! (including, especially, Cousin Bruce) I would have said “Wilsonia Cabin Commission”, but I liked 3 Cs in a row in the title. When you compare this to […]
Pencil Commission of Wilsonia Cabin
For over a year, a pencil commission of a Wilsonia cabin has been waiting for decisions to be made by the cabin owners. I too have been waiting. And waiting and waiting and waiting. We finally got together in person and discussed some details. They chose a view, chose a size, and paid a deposit. I […]
Drawing a Cabin
My business is called “Cabinart” because when I began, I lived in a cabin and I drew people’s cabins. I still live in a cabin part time and I still draw cabins. When someone pays me to draw a specific cabin, that is a commission. A friend asked me to draw a cabin that he […]
Weird Little Contest Entries
Each of these drawings are 2-1/4″ x 3-1/4″, drawn directly on the entry form called “Blank Canvas” for the magazine “Professional Artist”. The 2 colored pictures are colored pencil. It hurts my wrist to use colored pencil over an extended period of time, but these went quickly. And I […]
