The Story Behind the Image: This is George. I met George and his owner in the park one evening. While talking with his owner I discovered that her husband had passed away the year before, and that she had acquired George from the humane society to keep her company. George is twelve and Mary his owner is eighty-nine. They were so much fun to watch and so good for each other. I'm not sure just who had the most "attitude" George or Mary. I might add that Mary still lives by herself, except for George of course...and is still driving.

This was a fun drawing to do...but being a schnauzer owner myself, I had some inside advantages when it came to capturing George's saucy personality and devilish eyes.

My Baby...carbon pencil

...My Baby...

This is another of my first drawings.

carbon pencil on paper, double matted,
prints available
Sold

The Story Behind the Image: I was at the park when I saw this young woman and her new puppy. I watched from a distance while they played, then she picked the puppy up and carried it on her shoulder like a "baby". She would hold it down in her arms , talking to it and giving kisses...then put it back up on her shoulder again. The puppy was a large breed, with a reddish color to it's coat...perhaps a Golden or an Irish Setter. I watched them for a long time, taking lots of photos using a telephoto lens.

She got into her car and left before I could get her name of the name of her "baby". She has no idea this drawing even exists. I was really disappointed as I had some great shots of her kissing her puppy that couldn't be used without a release. I've thought of them often. It was a very touching moment, witnessing the love between this young women and her puppy.

The drawing "My Baby" is on cream toned fine art paper, presented in a double mat and also offered in two sizes of Open Edition Prints...check my Portfolio for availability of the Original and prices.

Miss Mouse...carbon and graphite

...Miss Mouse...

carbon and graphite on paper, 6x9, double matted,
prints available

The Story Behind the Image: Miss Mouse is our neighborhood cat. We say she is a "free spirit." She never lets anyone get too close and only comes around if she thinks there is a meal for her. Miss Mouse and her family live in the big storm sewer pipe that drains into the branch near my home. I worry about her and her little family because when it rains this pipe drains all the water from the streets...but somehow she always knows just when to move her kittens to higher ground!

On this day I used my telephoto lens and got this wonderful shot of her "shopping" for her own meal. Crouched down in the grass, stalking a bird...all you could see was her head. She definitely had lunch on her mind. I just love the intensity in her eyes and I tried to catch the intensity of her gaze in my drawing.

Update: This is her fourth spring as part of our lives, and you guessed it...she has a new litter of kittens. She's a good mother and such fun to watch. Miss Mouse was such fun to draw, enjoy.

The drawing "Miss Mouse" is on cream toned fine art paper and presented in a double mat. It is offered in Limited Edition Prints and Artist Proofs...check my Portfolio for availability or the Original and prices.
