Dang, now I HAVE to get the cover on my little book. This really gets my creativity twitching!

Wow Rhonda - this is superb...definitely my kind of art. Just love it. Hope you do some more of this kind of work. Have a great day.

Thanks so much for the positive comments on this one - this is now my favorite of the few I've done so far, I think :). Will keep on and see what happens as I continue to explore and try to soften things I bit more. Alice Jo, I've been waiting and watching for your first charcoal on brown paper bag journal drawings! ha ha.

Gorgeous mark making! I like the flowing composition of this one. You've caught the intense 'coiled spring' concentration in his stance.

Thanks, Lisa!! I appreciate your comments on this one. More to come in the coming days of January...then we'll see if I just return to color.
