Angles from Above

http://artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=388057 May this angle find her way home and report what's going on here to our Father, amen. This picture was dedicated to the King's Daughter National Convention or meetings that were to take place a Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas this year. Those meetings were put together to bring women of the world together to deal with their royal heritage as a daughter of God, amen!

I think the frame, matting, colors within the picture work well together. The contrasted lettering and arrangement also seems to balance out everything. I like very much how this picture and format came out. You might open the link in order to see 67 other comments via artwanted.

Elders Health Weekly

http://artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=400116 This very detailed red portrait is one of my favorite or best drawings. The dark colorful bold framing certainly helps the delicate artwork stand out even onder that varried lettering. The line work, wonderful shading, mood and expressive picture stands out plus holds its own. A true masterpiece that works well with other surrounding materials.

I really like drawing older people or men because of the many wrinkles within their faces.This drawing was completed with a red oil based ballpoint pen as many of my works are. That's because red is my favorite color plus I like doing mono or one colored pictures. Today this picutre has 83 comments via artwanted.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn

http://artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=371868 Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn is one of my favorite artist of history. He however did many of his paintings using dark colors unlike this bright red ballpoint pen drawing. I did however capture a likeness from the self portrait painting he did that looks much like this picture. I thought another colored frame would work better than this black and red one yet I tried it anyway.

A ballpoint has the largest ink reserve of all pen systems throughout hostory. That really makes an ink drawing like this work much better becaue miles of lines or color can be piled on the page. Bold flowing dark red lines or areas make up this great drawing. Quick or bold flowing lines certain mark what a ballpoint pen can do other system simply can't do.

Yellow Woman

http://artwanted.com/imageview.cfm?id=265955 I love this particular multi colored ballpoint pen artwork. The link will send you to 62 other comments pertaining this this beauty. I love this brilliant colored picture because its refreshing, pretty, bold, exciting and a fun artwork to look at. Perhapes the different colored or shaped eyes, the bright yelllow, red or blue sections bring things together really nice. Needless to say, I'm a colorist and in this case an impressionist.

The ballpoint's oil based inks deliever darker or richer colors than all other pen systems. Bold long flowing lines, dark rich colors and subtle half tone lines mark what a ballpoint pen can do as an art medium. I've done far more pictures of men that women as an artist. In spite of that this delightful portrait is a dandy!
