Black on Grey on White

During the whole of March, I will be the  Equis Art Gallery's  featured artist.  The only gallery of it’s kind  and Gem of the mid-Hudson Valley – the  EQUIS ART GALLERY  – is a purveyor of sophisticated artwork work where a white horse is not just white, a black horse is not just black and a beautiful horse is not just pretty! So very humbling and exciting . Getting ready for the occasion and off to join in in the festivities are two more drawings: Going Right and Racing Ready Racing Ready pencil on paper 37 x 41 cm reference: Linda Shantz Going Right pencil on paper 43 x 56 cm reference: Juliet Harrison

Mention "big black fluffy Newfoundlands" you can be sure you are referring to cuteness overload :D This, a big mixed media (graphite and charcoal) drawing of mother and son Newfoundland pooches, was created in stages.  The most important stage: deciphering shapes through bundles of deep black fur.  Once the noses, ears and eyes were pin pointed and sketched in: the real scribbling began.   The final stage involved a layer of Nitram charcoal to create more oomph and depth. William & Nikita graphite/charcoal on paper 41x50cm SOLD Loved discovering and developing a new approach to my work and the best... the unequaled feeling of success! Next up on the board: equine with a somewhat shorter coat ;)
