Dogs come when they are called; cats take a message and get back to you.

Well, as I stated in my last post I was getting tired of drawing flowers so here is Jasper. Jasper and I have never met ~ this is done from a photograph I found on-line. We only had one dog ~ her name was Maggie. But if we ever get a dog again (very doubtful) I hope he looks just like this guy and I am going to name him Jasper (or Sotheby). Anyway, I am still learning lots of things about using colored pencils. They are more like watercolor than I thought ~ very difficult to blend and very difficult to cover over dark colors. In other words, you need to plan ahead. Oil paint will always be my favorite medium. If you're not happy with your work, wait one day and paint over it! That said, I hope to always have at least one colored pencil work in progress on my drawing board. It has been a real pleasure having a dog in my life again for a few weeks!
