Thr Christmas Fairy
The Christmas Fairy.
She can only be seen once a year.
The very first time you turn on your
fully decorated Xmas tree,
she can be seen at the
top with the angel.

Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Pastels and sanded paper
PASTELS
After receiving a beautiful set of pencil pastels for Christmas, last Christmas to be specific, I thought I should finally use them before this Christmas! I have never used pastels of any kind. I have always been quite adverse to messy sticks of chalk! But these were pencils, much like my colored pencils. I found they are very much like my colored pencils - only quicker to use. Very pleasing actually.
And on top of learning a new medium - there are paper choices!
This one is on sanded pastel paper - which I love!
This one, the same scene as above, is on textured pastel paper - which would have been okay if I hadn't tried the sanded paper.

Mother Nature colored pencil
MOTHER NATURE
This is one of those works of art that
do not turn out looking the way it did in my head.
It began as a watercolor exercise.
But since I do no like watercolors and fight them
every inch of the way, I finally gave in to
the call of the colored pencils.
So satisfying!

Colored Pencil Flamingos
TANGLED FRIENDS
Flamingos give the color pink a true purpose.
When I draw flamingos,
I always want to wrap their necks around
and through and convoluted,
and what a better way than with friends.
My colored pencils were made for this drawing!

Watercolor Autumn Fall Pumpkins
PUMPKIN PATCH
Getting ready for Fall, cool weather and warm rich colors.
Here is another of my watercolor exercises.
Watercolors are not my favorite medium,
they make me work hard and struggle.
I finally had to use my colored pencils to finish the sky.
