Yellow Lily

This yellow lily is my most recent piece done in colored pencil. My inspiration came from a bouquet of flowers.

The first one is a yellow lily abstract:



This next one I wanted to create a wet look. I call this version "Wet 'n Wild":



In this third version, again I distorted the yellow lily and changed the colors to create this abstract:

Diamond in the Rough

Rainbow Trout

I drew this piece for my oldest son Larry who is an avid fly fisherman. He asked me to do a colored pencil drawing for him so I picked this rainbow trout which not only has great color but is known as a great sport fish.

I Found Nemo

I have always loved salt water fish because of the brilliant colors. Nemo was popular at this time and I have always liked the clownfish. So, I drew this piece in colored pencil.
