The Haircut

 Really enjoy working on these old shows in black and white.  Floyd was such a classic character on Andy Griffith.   

Gone Fishing

 Iconic scene from Andy Griffith.  Done as a commission.

More Andy Griffith

 Did another of my favorite show 

Andy

 Haven’t done one of him in a long time.  

Barney's New Car

 Enjoyed drawing this one except there was a back and forth on light and dark.   The background I wanted enough detail to see the scene out the back of the car but not to take attention away from Barney.  Lot's going on in this scene.  Aunt Bee is riding happily in the back seat.

A taller Barney

 Decided to draw a scene from the show instead of just a character.  This is a classic scene where Andy tried to stretch Barney to meet the new requirements of height and weight.  Took a long time on this one due to all the detail and 3 different portraits.   Barney is the focal point though and was a funny show.

Barney Fife

 Love drawing Barney.

Gilligan

 Love to watch this show as a kid.  

Sands of Iwo Jima

 Had to do one of John in something besides a western!

Eddie Haskell

 Had to continue the Leave It To Beaver crew. Ken Osmond really played the role of Eddie Haskell so well. A great show that really takes you back in a better time.

The Beaver

 Had to draw Beaver if I drew Wally!

Wally

Wally from Leave it to Beaver

.

Elizabeth Montgomery

 Always loved Elizabeth on Bewitched.   Chose this picture for the drama it had.  

Simon Baker The Mentalist

 Couldn’t resist drawing Patrick Jane.

John Wayne in color

 Just finished this of John Wayne in pastel pencil.  11x14.

Earnest T. Bass

Had to draw this wild character.  Earnest T. Bass. It’s me it’s me!

Jasper - Dana Perino

 Had to do a portrait of this beautiful famous dog! 

The Five

 Had a whim to draw Jessie Watters and Greg Gutfield on the Fox Tv show The Five.   Sent in and they showed on air.  Was a thrill to be mentioned on national tv to 3.6 millions viewers!  

Elephant in pencil

 Tried something different here.  My sister-in-law took the photo reference for this drawing while on a trip to Africa.   She and her husband are very talented photographers and have a tremendous volume of work.

Elvis

Had to do one of our hometown Elvis.

John Wayne

Finished my John Wayne portrait in pencil.  This is the second one I’ve done of him and he is a joy to draw.  So many great movie moments come to mind and I can hear his voice as I look at him.  Hope you enjoy!

Tom Cruise

Pencil portrait of Tom Cruise 11x14.  Enjoyed working on this one.   Hope you enjoy. Looking forward to Top Gun 2.  Hope he sees his portrait here.

Granny

Had to draw Granny after Jed!  11x14. Irene Ryan was 59 when she played the role of Granny during the Beverly Hillbillies.

Jed Clampett

Well Doggie!! Jed Clampett.   Buddy Epsen was a dancer originally  and was the Tin Man for 10 days in the Wizard of Oz till he became very sick from the aluminum dust and almost died.  But will always be known as the poor mountaineer who barely kept his family fed.  Hope you enjoy my latest pencil.

Floyd the barber

Hope you enjoy this pencil of Floyd the barber!   He was such a beloved simpleton!   Just love the show so much because it brings back that simple time before all the awful things going on now.  Miss the days before social media.

Otis

I can’t get into an Otis elevator and not think of this guy.  He really was a great actor on Andy Griffith and I loved all the laughs he brought to the show.  No one could play a nice lovable drunk like Otis Campbell.   I think I’m done with this one and hope you enjoy.  11x14 pencil

Alright alright alright

Loved working on Matthew.  He is a great guy and actor!
