A creative flower curating a simple, artistic life.
Any finished or in-progress graphite pencil artwork I want to share.
Since I’ve been working on more graphite artwork, I’ve thought about creating a series based around fruits and vegetables. It’s still a thought, but I’ve considered doing so since most of my drawing subjects are in these two categories. This one that I recently completed will most likely be selected if I choose to make [...]
*Credit of original photo goes to O Naturals.* At the start of the Autumn season, and eventually the Halloween season, I wanted to make another drawing based on a popular subject that is common in décor, recipes and tradition. I did come up with a simple plant subject for my first gouache painting, but for [...]
*Credit for original photo of strawberries goes to Health Benefits Times.* I’ve been looking through my current portfolio and after re-organizing my artwork from the best to things that need improvement, I decided to add another finished artwork to the portfolio. I knew I wanted the subject to be fruit again, but I was stuck [...]
Before completing the drawing of the oranges, I tackled another drawing that I was in the process of finishing, but stopped due to life’s circumstances. This one involved a subject that I discovered a long time ago during my time at my favorite park in Fruit Cove, FL. When I got done reading and lounging [...]
*Credit for photo of oranges goes to iStock.* I’ve still been working with graphite pencils and I’m getting better with them the more I continue to draw with them. I took some time off from making art to head to my favorite bookstore and pick up a book on the various drawing techniques ranging from [...]
*DISCLAIMER: Credit goes to Oliver Hoffmann for creating this image of the two avocados back in 2007.* Recently, I quit one of my restaurant jobs so I could free up more time for me to be creative once more. I was still hitting a creative block though, so for the past several days, I’ve been [...]
Things have been changing at a rapid pace lately. I’ve gotten both of my jobs back and I’ve been working on a part-time schedule at both places. Due to me not working for a few weeks because of the virus, it was quite a transition that I wasn’t ready for. It also meant that I [...]
During one of my usual walks outside, I though about what the next subject for my next drawing would be and I realized that I had hit a “block,” so to speak. So I decided to pull out my phone and photograph a quick picture of what I thought was visually appealing enough to capture [...]
*Credit to original lemon photo goes to Shutterstock.* Unfortunately, both of my jobs have been temporarily shutdown and I’ve been temporarily “laid off” until the Coronavirus situation dies down. As disheartening and depressing as that was, since my main two sources of income were cut short, I decided to get back to creating more artwork [...]
I’ve been too busy with my full-time job and my part-time job and both are draining me of my energy. But I meant to make this post for you at the start of February, so here it is. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, I had decided to start using colored pencils as a [...]
