Time to compare the two. The top one is the most recent, I wish I had chosen better paper for it but it was just a study. The one on bottom I did in high school, so around 1997-98. This is of my Grandma Stephens back when she was 19. I love old photos and needed something to do at night. I did this one over too just to see how much my style has developed.
A work in progress, sorry for the glares on it, took it late last night. This is a drawing of my grandma Stephens in pencil. I did a similar drawing in high school which I am looking for so I can compare the two. Maybe once this is finished I can put them side by side for comparison.
Now offering to draw animals, pets, or portraits for anyone. $25 for an 8x10 on up to $75-100 for 16x24 (depending on the scale of the drawing and the amount of detail in the background). Contact me if you are interested. It is a great way to remember a beloved pet and it gives me a chance to draw something I love!
This is a painting my husband started for his painting class last year and since he cringes each time he has to open a tube of oil paint I decided to finish this one for him. I love oils and working on this painting helped me learn a new style for painting oils. I still have a little more work to do on his clothes and her veil but overall I am proud of this copy. For me this particular painting holds a deeply spiritual meaning besides the story being depicted of Joseph and Mary fleeing their home with Jesus as a child to find safety in Egypt, to me it tells me to never get too comfortable because something is always bound to happen.
Buddy the rabbit done in pencil for a friend. Loved this rabbit when he was alive so it was a pleasure drawing him.

In 2010 I took these at a Catholic church here in town while my husband was shooting his own pics for his final. He ended up using his own but almost used mine instead.
A great horned owl done in pencil for a friend. Loved the detail of the owl's face looking right at me. Pencil is by far my favorite medium to work with.
Detail of the talons, it was lots of fun to draw them.
