Happy Trails


Graphite on paper, 12x6
Here's a sketch for the upcoming "Happy Trails" banner project sponsored by Georgetown Art Works. I'm thinking, "Good grub equals a happy trail ride." The drawing is based on photos I took last year of the chuckwagon competition held in San Gabriel Park. The background (very roughly sketched) will be based on some landscape photos I took in Fayette County where my beloved old farmhouse is located. This sketch has been submitted for approval; now the waiting game begins.

La Grange Farmhouse


Graphite on Paper, 9x12 - Commission
I enjoy revisiting my drafting roots from college periodically. This drawing of a 1920s home in La Grange, Texas was no exception. Commissioned by a cousin of my husband's, I was able to actually visit the location prior to tackling the project.
