“Assateague Ponies” The drawing is a combination of India Ink and Chalk Pastel. The idea for the drawing comes from a photograph taken on Assateague Island, Virginia.

"Wild Spirit" photograph was provided to me by an Amish "Horse Whisperer." When Rebeka, an Amish friend, showed me her picture, falling in love with the subject was immediate. For an artist who does mainly black on white drawings, WOW is the description that came to mind.

Who could pass up this serene image of hanging tobacco in a red barn with a painted pony watching over the area? The pony came out from inside the barn to strike the placid posture when I stopped. The drawing incorporates items from two separate locations from the southern portion of Lancaster County. Original made with India Ink and watercolor.

Snowy Owl is a change from my usual subject of landscapes. The ghostlike snowy owl has unmistakable white plumage that echoes its Arctic origins. India Ink and watercolor.

Feathered Friends was inspired from viewing at the snow laden tree outside the family room window accented with the bright red feathers of the male Cardinals.

Once again I felt the need to include color to complete the drawing. The color is used to hold the viewer's attention and move their eyes throughout the drawing.
