Pencil Work

Here are some pictures of recently completed pencil work. My seasonal paintings and all pencil work are designed to be printed on greeting cards, as they give a nice personal touch for whoever you're sending them to. I just finished the Western, English and Racing sets in order to have some cards printed in time for Thanksgiving (I display some of my work at a local western antiques store).

 My graphite pencils had been sitting on the shelf for years when I finally pulled them off the shelf and did these sketches. Most of these drawings will be touched up to make them sharper.
