Heavenly Chair

Heavenly Chair was a request from my dear husband. It is his anniversary gift. He loves his banjo and on this particular trip to see his mother he took it and played for her, and for the deer who gather on her lawn. He set the banjo down and realized how lovely it looked it in the morning light. I love that he has an eye for beauty, composition, and design. Happy Anniversary Love!

Banjo

This is a quick gesture drawing I did of Andrew playing his banjo. We were sitting around camp at a mountain man rendezvous. A gesture drawing doesn't give you the luxury of a nice life drawing. It has to be done before the subject moves, and you never know how long that will be. It's a fun exercise and one I need to do more often.
