PENCIL PORTRAITS

In an artists humble beginnings, pencil drawing is at the heart of it - before the world of color (except for crayons). Pencil can be used to draw sketches in their simplistic form, however Marie chooses to use the medium to create detailed drawings to capture the personality of the person, animal, or part of nature. It is all about the details. Our eyes reveal those details if we only take the time to look. And Marie does.

Don't forget to stop and smell the roses!
