Artist Statement - "A Legacy of Love"
Around August, 2014, I began drawing a daily picture for the woman I love. We were a new older couple and I felt the inspiration to draw her a picture which was accompanied by a short love letter too. I had the desire, I suppose, to be romantic, to express to her my love and devotion.
After a while of drawing daily small pictures for Denise, she wondered what to do with all of this art and she got the idea to mount them on a poster board. This way they could be displayed and not just be put in a box like the letters.
So that is how these posters of small colored pencil art drawings originated. When I first started drawing, I used simple Crayola colored pencils. You can see some of my earliest pictures on the poster boards marked “Pictures with Crayola colored pencils.” I then moved on to using much better pencils when a friend told me of Prisma Colored Pencils and gifted me an assortment. These pencils were wonderful because they allowed me to blend different colors together, something I could not do with the Crayolas.
I hope you enjoy my drawings.
