Partial Pete


This is a drawing I had done about 25 years ago. It was just done in pencil. Nothing fancy. It is one of my favorites. I still think he has the most beautiful eyes! Don't you?

Dear Zoe

You are right - Pete has the most compelling eyes.
They go well with his compelling soul...

The drawing is excellent. I find it fun to draw what I like best.

I have found that the eyes on a human face are most difficult to capture.
Most of my past drawings have been scenery & horses.
Pete was my second human portrait ever, done about a year & a half ago.

Thanks for sharing. I'll try to post another drawing, too.

...She told me that she liked art, but that she couldn't draw a straight line
I told her if she could reach for something and pick it up,
she could draw a line straight enough
She said she weren't interested in that kind of drawing
But had always liked horses
I said I did too, but they were hard to draw
She said yes, that was very true
Said she could do the body okay
But never get the head, tail or legs
I told her she was drawing sausages, not horses
She said no, they were horses...

Dear Zoe

I just thought I'd pop by & let you know that Henrietta is doing much betta!

I was really quite afraid she wasn't going to make it.
I know that you love animals, especially cats, so I thought I'd let you know the encouraging news.


Thanks.
Love
Dale

Hi Zoe

Yay for the Men's Curling Team!

I missed the game, but did hear on the radio when they were up 6 points in the 6th end.
I also heard when they won.
Canada now has 20 medals.

Thanks for visiting my blog & you have a wonderful weekend, too.

Love
Dale

Hi Zoe

Thanks for visiting my blog.
I'd like to see some more of your artwork.
You show me yours & I'll show you some more of mine...
LOL

BTW how many cats do you have now?
Any more strays?
Did I tell you that our cat adopted us about 8 years ago? We had no say in the matter - he just moved in.
Great cat, though, more like a dog in some of the things he does.

Hope you are well & recovered from Olympicmania!

Love
Dale

Zoe,
I think that's a great drawing, and yes the man has amazing eyes. I think they are his most striking feature, and personally, his wonderful nose is the right scale for them. I am quite useless at drawing, so I do appreciate seeing other people's talents.

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,
AM
