School's started again.  I spent the entire winter break working on Harvest and Blossoming for a charity auction, and I'll get those posted as quickly as I can.  I really like using the Derwent Drawing Pencils a great deal more than I thought I would.  My husband went and got me the whole set of twenty-four pencils, so I'm really excited about experimenting with them.  I like to use complementary colors in my work, but with the handful I had I was pretty restricted to a nearly monochromatic look.  And all things considered, I think that these particular pieces would have benefited with having a bit more color to them, especially Blossoming.

Well, some new and one old(er). I've been working on these over the summer, and now that school has started up again, I imagine production's gonna slow down a bit. I've also notated a couple of the pieces as "Private collection", meaning that someone who is not me owns them. I'm not too horribly attached to any of them, otherwise I'd mark them as "Collection of the Artist".  And anyway, if I were really that attached to them, my husband would snag them.  He's done that before.  Actually, he's even snagged a couple of things that I wasn't strongly attached to.
