In Her Long Tresses
Goat's Beard (20 X 12 inches) Pencil crayon on cold pressed water colour paper. I continue my love affair with Goat's Beard seed stems after the seeds have flown. This takes on the female form with flowing tresses that complement the forward momentum suggested by the bowed stem.
Ta-Dah!
Ta-Dah! Sunflower (27 X 20 inches) Pencil crayon on rag paper. This partially open sunflower is a study in the spiral geometry of the central florets and the spiky sepals that are so pale green as to glow in the sunlight. The dark background carries deep complementary violets, indigo and red browns that enliven the yellow and greens. The picture is vibrant and dynamic with the forces of growth bursting from the centre of the picture.
Poppy (SOLD)

Into The Light (SOLD)
Pencil Crayon Painting sold to Timeraiser Regina
Burning Light
(22 X 16 inches)
Pencil Crayon on Paper
These nasturtiums are in their strident phase with open throats and leggy petals. The bee lines are distinct and provide contour to the petals. I called this work burning light because it is a hot, hot picture. The light is of a dry scorching July day with the bright flowers emerging from the dark foliage as if floating into spotlights.
Coneflowers
(24 X 17 inches) SOLD
Pencil Crayon and watercolour on Paper
The prairie coneflower is lovely subject for both pencil crayon and watercolour. The grasses, leaves and some of the florettes were completed in watercolour. Watercolour allowed for a crisper edge and fine, graceful lines in the grasses while the overall languor of the scene was maintained. The vegetation is both energetic and striving on the one hand and relaxed in the summer heat.
Daylily
Daylily (28 X 16 inches)
Pencil Crayon on Paper
This pencil crayon work is particularly dramatic given the sweeping sabre of the pistol rising from the lily’s throat with the retinue of admiring stamens. The flower is delicate pinks and corals with the new green of the buds providing complementary counterpoints and enhancing the vibrancy of the soft palette of petals.
The Gossips
SOLD The Gossips (23 X 16 inches)
Pencil Crayon of Paper
The gossips is a pencil crayon rendering of nasturtiums, one of my favourite edible flowers. This work has benefited from the complementary underpainting technique that allows the shadows in the yellow petals to be vibrant and lifelike. Flowers are interesting objects as they are translucent and the shadowing difficult if a lifelike look is sought. Also, yellow is an odd colour to get variation in palette. Underpainting with complementary colours works extremely well with yellow florals. I had tried this technique before, but it was never so successful as in this work.
Hollyhock
Hollyhock (23 X 18 inches)
Pencil Crayon on Paper
This complex floral is mix of abstract shapes and budding forms that are nosing outward to obtain space to blossom. Hollyhocks are an old flower, associated with cottages. I first noticed them in just that setting. More recently, I was pleasantly surprised to see them flourishing against a wall in an abandoned city lot. They were untended and self-seeded. They asserted their place at the edge of a run down building. I like their independence.
Pond
Pond (18 X 24 inches) SOLD
Pastel on tinted pastel paper
This pastel is subtle and unfocussed and a marked departure from my usual interest in obsessive detail. This work benefited from accidental effects that pastel can have. Working with the intense control of pencil crayon and then switching to pastel is freeing. I have used both pastel and pencil crayon in some pictures when the right effect was only possible in one medium or the other.
Sunflower 5 (SOLD)
Sunflower 5 (24 X 20 inches) Price: $850.00
Pencil Crayon on Paper
This sunflower is a study in the muscular stem, foliage and overlapping calyx that surrounds the petals. Rich indigo blues are worked into the background to enliven the yellow of the petals. The flower emerges into the light chiaroscuro style.

Pond Lily 4
Pond Lily 4 (28 X 18 inches)
Pencil Crayon on Paper
This pencil crayon work was a challenge. It was interesting to find out how to make the water sitting on the leaves as realistic as possible and to create the partially submerged subjects. The composition of lush and voluptuous pond vegetation with the bolting florals has an energy highlighting life hidden under the surface.
