Our Rocky World…
Here are drawings of whimsical
rock faces on (acid free) paper done with Prismacolor® pencils. [Larger pieces
have been done with an acrylic wash, over pen and ink, then finished with
charcoal.] Each piece is a wall of stones conversing or pondering,
showing personality, thought and expression.
A young man once put it in rather eloquent words, “Cool - Rocks with attitude!” The enthusiasm of youth has assisted in leading to
success and winning of awards in this form of art.
Each small piece may be clicked for a close-up, then click on the main piece to
return.
Some have already been sold.
Pieces are also being done with the
print industry in mind – fabric or paper – clothing or walls – the application
& endeavors can be endless……

Initial inspiration to draw…
After taking a great deal
of lessons in drawing at schools: a busy life with 4 children pretty much put
it on hold. Then, one day, I was told of a schedule change for a
meeting in Downtown Renton. If I had gone home I would have had to turn
around & come right back. That wasn’t going to happen. But
occupying my time was essential. Then Fred Meyer® “stepped in.”
They had a great selection of acid-free paper pads for a good price.
With that and a box of colored pencils, my time was fulfilled, first with
still life, then quick portraits, finally – On To Rocks! After that, art applications with confidence prevailed. -amas |

the least.
