I haven't posted in here some time. Thought you might be interested in viewing my most recent work, done on black scratchboard 16X20. Your comments are always welcome.

Bruce, thank you, nice to hear from you.

Terri, thank you.

JW, thank you, this one is priced at $400, however, as bad as I hate to say it, I'm thinking seriously of having prints made.

Jason, thank you, I like stick figures.

AUplantman, thank you.

Nina, thank you vey much. You already have the ability and the talent to do what I do and probably better, you are just working in the wrong medium. I use a knife blade, you use a pencil. I take away black to add light, you add black to take away light.

countryviews daughter, thank you. I have seen some of your work here on the forum, you are doing pretty good. You know that there are lots of really good artist on here, and I'll bet that most of them would be more than happy to help you when you need it, so don't be afraid to ask questions. How about doing me a favor, I would like to see you draw things like, coffee cups, apples, pencils, vases, anything that is simple, but round or curved. Make sure that you have a light on and then look at it real close and then draw what you see. Don't forget to post it so that I can see it, okay.

The eye for detail. Amazing. I don't dare ask how long and how much patience that took. Thank you for sharing.

Elk are my favorite animal to hunt and see out in the great outdoors, thanks for sharing with us this beautiful work of art and the character of a mature bull in his prime of his life. Even this pictures make me feel like I am back there again in the deep dark canyons waiting for his approach to my calls. Thanks Caribouhills.
