At a ward christmas party yesterday they had coloring book pages and crayons on the tables. It made me remember how fun it was to use crayons :)

Winter.

Digital Photography

I went for a walk after a snow fall this week, and it was so picture perfect.

Tulips

Black and White Film Photography

Flowers are usually photographed for their beautiful colors, but they are just as remarkable for their shape and form :)

This is my sister's beautiful family, I had so much fun staying with them for two weeks, love you guys!!

Digital photography

I love how cool bare branches look against a sunset, the trees know all they have to do is wait out the winter, because summer always comes again.

Autumn

I've been in Illinois with my sister's family, and it has been so much fun! And fall in Illinois is beautiful :)

World, meet Chloe.

The hospital at Travis AFB ordered this portrait for one of their leaders, she is retiring and they wanted to say thanks. Thanks to all who serve in the military!

The Sheffer Home

Pencil on Paper, 5x7

I had the opportunity to stay with my best friend for a dew days, and while we were having tons of fun, I noticed that her home was filled with beautiful still life compositions. Cate and her husband have turned their university owned tiny cinder block apartment into a BEAUTIFUL home. :)

Sunflowers, Step 2

Mixed Media on Canvas 16x20 in.

Paint over the collage, cover with Mod-podge. These were done for my sister Tori, if anyone ever reminded me of a bright sunflower, its her. ;)

Sunflowers, Step 1

Collage on canvas 16x20 inches

This step is really fun, sort through paper and rip it up, design, then glue it in place. I've done this with the "Lilies" paintings, and the "Vacation" paintings but I've never shown what it looks like at this stage.

Spain

Illustration

I've been sick and haven't been drawing for a while but this was a fun one I've wanted to do for a long time :) I took this picture while my family was visiting Spain years ago but I couldn't decide if I wanted to draw, oil paint, or watercolor it. Instead I scanned my mom's scrapbook paper collection and used Photoshop to fill in a line drawing.

Good Friends :)

Dear Russ and Katherine,

So happy for you two! Even though it is way late ;) Love you guys! (photography done by Cate Sheffer ;)

Watercolor Portraits

Watercolor on watercolor paper, 5x7 inches

I'm just finishing up this order, its funny I feel like I get to know all these strangers I draw, even though I often don't even know their name. If I ran into one of them on the street they would be pretty creeped out that a stranger recognized them ;)I'm still trying to figure out how to use watercolors.

First Family Picture

Pencil on Paper, 11x14 inches.

I love this photograph so much! A woman contacted me wanting to get a present for her parents, she is getting married and wanted a family portrait drawn. The really fun part is that the newborn in this picture is the woman getting married :) She says this was the first picture they have of them as a whole family. So cool :)

Through Heaven's Eyes

This photo was taken while flying home from Alaska, I felt so lucky to be able to look down on God's creations like He does.

Smile!

Pencil on paper, 8 x 10.

This was a fun order, such crisp lines and a great candid smile.

Multiple originals.

Pencil on paper, 5x7

You've seen this one before, the woman wanted 4 original drawings. Although I really liked this picture, it isn't very fun doing the same drawing 4 times. ;) I was really excited to be done.

birthday present

Prisma colored pencils: 5x7 in.

A lady ordered this picture for a friend's birthday, working small with colored pencils is actually harder than I thought. I keep thinking these other mediums are simple like pencils but they aren't, I'm still figuring out the colored pencils.

Sisters

pencil on paper, 8x10

A lady ordered this drawing of her daughters for her husband's birthday. Don't you love teddy bears?!
