Feedback Can Ignite Creativity

When you work in an art studio all day - by yourself - it can be really quiet.  Actually, my Iraqi rescued cat Missy May, my Iraqi rescued dog Bonzo and his sister Sandy and my Thailand rescued dog Autumn, do keep me company.  However, try as they might, they have not yet mastered the art of verbal communication.  When I show them a finished drawing and ask them what they think, I assume the dog's wagging tails and Missy May's purrs are their ways of giving me a thumbs up.  To be sure though, I welcome hearing from people who can express themselves with words to share their thoughts about my drawings. Artists love watching new ideas blossom and sometimes they come from unexpected sources.

Sorry to hear you won't be doing custom portraits again until October. I will definitely be back in touch then.

I just viewed all your drawings on your website. I love each one. I think I am going to have to have you draw my dog Casey. Will let you know when I am ready to order one.

Your style of drawing is so different. Are all those little lines drawn by hand or is it done on the computer? If you do it by hand you must have a world of patience. Love your work.

Thank you for your kind words. All those lines, and in some drawings circles, are done by hand. Each drawing takes me an average of 10 hours to finish. I listen to a lot of books while doing the tedious part of the drawings. I love creating them though.

I saw your drawings at Art Studio 360 in Placerville. I was very impressed with your talent. I think I'll get one of your drawings done for my daughter for Christmas.

Thank you! I could not imagine, not being a voice for the animals. I feel so blessed to have spent most of my adult life doing what I love.
