This series has been a blast so far. The pieces are done in colored pencil on archival paper or illustration board. I decided to do this series in colored pencil for several reasons.

First, colored pencil works are much faster to complete than those done in oil. Second, I find that I'm more likely to include the little details when I work in colored pencil. And I really wanted to add those elements to my work. And Finally, I find my work has a much lighter more fanciful quality in colored pencil than when I work in oils, although I can't possibly tell you why that is.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
