A Gallery of Charcoal Art!
I have been an artist since I was 5 years old but never thought of myself as a great artist until I took an art class. Teacher was wondering what I was even doing in the class. The class was a great experience for me. I tried a new medium called Charcoal Art and my art went BAM.
I then tried a reverse art which is a rare form of art. Instead of black charcoal on white I started to use black paper to bring out highlights instead of shadows. The results were awesome! I have a few pieces shown and will display others later.
The art is for your enjoyment so Enjoy!

I Love Yorkie's
This is a beautiful Yorkie Art piece done in Charcoal and a little paint was used to bring out the color of the roses. The original piece was given to my grandmother in Florida in remembrance of my aunt Brenda. A few hours before my aunt passed away she helped my other aunt and grandmother deliver a Yorkie puppy. Aunt Brenda was a Yorkie breeder and loved her Yorkies.

Beautiful Legs
Beautiful Legs was my first charcoal art drawing I experimented with white charcoal to bring out the highlights instead of the shadows. I loved the way it turned out so I did the Callas Lilies shown below. My next art piece using this technique is a piano with a yellow Rose.NEW AFFORDABLE PRICING COMING SOON!
The Lonely Pear
This is a pear sitting on a ledge alone. I want to try and draw texture as you see in the background. I am inspired by an artist by the name of J.D. Hillberry. If you would like to see his art work go to www.jdhillberry.com.NEW AFFORDABLE PRICING COMING SOON!
Lake Scene
This Lake Scene was taken in Tawas, Michigan a few years ago. While I was learning how to use charcoal as a medium I was asked to go outside my comfort zone and do a piece in color so, I did.NEW AFFORDABLE PRICING COMING SOON!
DoveNHands
I don't know why but this art piece doesn't get that much attention. I like the detail in the hands and realistic it turned out. I will be doing more art with hands in the future. I still have theDove N Hands!

- I enjoyed seeing the pieces you have here. I seem to go back and forth between graphite and charcoal, and mixing the two. I really like the Calla Lillies on the black paper.
