It has been hard this last three weeks with no energy to do much of anything, but I just can't go without drawing something....
....so I have been trying out the OSWOA's(original small work of art 4x6)....I guess it is the new thing out there. This one is my third one
EGYPTIAN TREASURE
done in graphite and acrylics.
Special thanks to Skyler Leigh and her mother, AW artist Dina Sierra who let me use the photograph as reference.
Thank you for looking!
