Since I am new at this I thought I would just add a few of my Paintings and tell you a little about each of them.  The one above is called "Autumn Mosaic".  It was done with Prismacolor Pencils on White Stonehenge Paper.  Size is 11 1/2 inches High by 15 1/2 wide.  I had collected the leaves and acorns when I was on a walk and took them home.  I threw them on the ground late in the afternoon so that I would have good shadows.  I did have to make up several of the leaves as I didn't have enough to fill in the whole area.  This is one of my Favorite pieces.  It has received several awards including "Best of Show" at our Local CPSA Chapter and I was fortunate to have it accepted into the Scribble Talk 2009 Calender.

  1. I love these colors Jean, and the detail is fantastic! Which leaves did you add in on your own?

    It's no wonder this picture has won so many awards. They are well deserved! :D
