This worn-out floppy hat made an interesting drawing

This is another edge-lighted portrait I did after a photograph
Appalachian Preacher
Charcoal drawing on sand-colored mat board, with white chalk
This was an early drawing of an old-time preacher. Note the bowl over his head haircut and scissors trimmed beard.
Phil
Charcoal drawing
20 x 16"
Another early drawing done for the fun of it
Mateus
pastel
Someone gave me the gardenia, and I brought it home, stuck it in the Mateus bottle and drew it. Try drawing the detailed label with a pastel as large as your finger! It's a challenge.
Orchid
pastel
I once raised orchids. I love their beautiful colors, textures and shapes. I've painted many of them, as it's the only way to keep them in bloom.
