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.

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!

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

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Finished Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid from the Hole in the Wall gang! The jump into into the river scene will always be my favorite where Paul Newman laughs at Robert Redford for saying he can’t swim.
