My first finished piece using my tinted charcoal set - there is no traditional black charcoal used on this drawing. A close-up of a pair of daisies from out in a field, with two buds in the frame waiting their turn to open their white petals, and in the lower right corner you can see the tips of a third open flower.

This is the third in a three-day art challenge with the theme of daisies.

I often joke that I learned to draw and paint because it is easier and quicker for me than getting a good photograph. I do still make the attempt to use my camera more effectively from time to time, but I have more natural aptitude to using a pencil or paint. Often what few photographs I am satisfied with become reference for my artwork. I work with charcoal, soft pastels, oil pastels, watercolor, acrylic, and am learning oil painting. I tend towards more realistic, although I have dabbled in impressionism when the fancy strikes. I live at the dead end of a dirt road in rural Florida with my husband and a yardful of critters, while the local deer and wild turkeys eat my annual efforts at gardening.
