with Colored Pencils
I enjoy coloring and love to share my experience in "coloring between the lines"
with preprinted illustrated pages of specific motifs and seasonal imagery.

Learn what a "Smudge" can do! Oil Pastel Smudge
I also enjoy working with "Oil Pastels"

a fabulous technique working
in this versatile medium.
