As I take a break from creating greeting cards and focus my efforts where I'm excelling, I have taken to the art of colored pencils. I'll thank the art teacher at school whom I've been observing while I do my job helping students with special needs and I'll thank the students themselves who have inspired me to give something new a try.
I went out and bought a set of 48 Prismacolor soft pencils and thought I'd post my first efforts. These are by far just sketches and tests of technique and getting a feel for using them and I'm sure those with better skill can see where I'm in need of further study and practice, so take these with a grain of salt.

Here's a few others that I hope to end up designing a variety of cards with (so PLEASE, these are copyright protected!!).

Short and sweet post today however lots of exploration is brewing.
