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.
[ (NOTE: H X W usually includes frame.) Some of these pieces have already been sold.]
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 |
Here are two
current larger pieces – watercolor/acrylic/ink/charcoal/Prismacolor®
Pencil/thread (for web that glows in the dark)/twigs/etc…- Mixed Media to say
the least.
