Colored Pencil and Pastels     8x10 inches

A drawing inspired by my recent 30 year high school reunion, which I did not attend but as part 

of the group on facebook I got to thinking about old friends and memories of my alma mater so 

I completed this drawing of the school mascot using the school colors for the background.  

Proud to always be a Lion!   Borah High School - Boise, Idaho   Class of 1982

This drawing is available in fine art prints and greeting cards at my site on FineArt America

Playing around with colors on the same design of a mother zebra grazing while keeping a watchful eye out for her young foal.  Everyone has seen a black and white zebra, but a one of color?  That would make us stop and take a second look, right?  Which one is your favorite? ~M

Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever

happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers?   Joel 1:2

 

Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.    Philippians 4:5

Father, please do it again!

I watched the colors in the twilight sky grow before my eyes

As water runs quickly down quietly soaking into the ground

A kaleidoscope of blues, purples, reds, yellows and orange

Colors sing a beautiful song of worship for mankind to hear

Heavenly glory and splendor displayed on a canvas of blue

Hues fade silently as crystal stars slowly appear in the dark

Father, please do it again!

Life Never Repeats - Variations On A Theme!

They say that the same thing never comes around in the same way twice and I believe that.  I enjoy taking a design and using different colors and mediums to create a unique and different version of the original idea, variations on a theme!  

Here are some variations on the same horse design!

Frenzy

"Frenzy"  Pastel & Colored Pencil Drawing (6x9) 

This is another version of a design previously posted as Bucking Broncos!  in July of this year.  I like taking the same design or drawing and seeing how different colors and mediums can create an entirely different picture and convey another emotion.  The colors in this drawing seemed to evoke a feeling of frenzied energy and strength amidst a brilliant sunset.  Enjoy! ~M
