HB, 2B and 4B pencils on bristol paper
Inspired by the painting "Portrait of an Extraordinary Musical Dog" by Philip Reinagle.
Originally I wanted to take a picture of Fluffy sitting on the bench in front of the piano but of course he wouldn't do it...so I decided to draw it...
The ceiling of the staircase in the Louvre museum was so intriguing. It reminded me of the drawings by mathematician and artist M.C. Escher. Using a monochrome conversion of the image I succeeded to create this drawing-effect. A game of shadows and lights. In honour of the master himself.
Enjoy!

1979 pencil drawing by Don Pearson of Tulsa, Oklahoma, The Crystal Mill, or the Old Mill is an 1892 wooden powerhouse located on an outcrop above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado, United States. It is accessible from Marble, Colorado via four-wheel drive. I was there on a high school 2 week mountain hiking camp in 1972. Returned for part of my honeymoon trip and caught the largest trout of my life in the pool below the waterfall under the mill in 1976.

“The word of a gentleman is as good as his bond; and sometimes better.” – Charles Dickens (British author).
“Perhaps the true definition of a gentleman is this: Whoever is open, loyal, and true; whoever is of humane and affable demeanour; whoever is honourable in himself, and in his judgement or others, and requires no law but his word to make him fulfil and engagement; such a man is a gentleman, be he the highest or lowest rank of life, a man of elegant refinement and intellect, or the most unpolished tiller of the ground.” – ‘The Gentleman’s Book of Etiquette and manual of Politeness’ by Cecil B. Hartley, 1860.
The theme for "Looking Close… on Friday" for Friday 25th of April is "fingerprints". Now, I don’t happen to have an ink pad handy, but I do have some grey lead pencils, and I decided to use the lead from one such HB pencil to shave and turn into powder which I was then able to dip my left index finger into to create this fingerprint, which I then turned into the head of a gentleman in a suit (very like me as I quite like wearing suits and smart ties). Whilst it perhaps didn’t turn out quite as clearly as I would have liked, after several attempts, this was the print with the best result. I do hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!

"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness." - William Arthur Ward (American motivational writer).
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 28th of December is "smiley in selective colour", a theme chosen because this is the last theme of this year. Where does the time go? Now this theme sounds fairly easy in comparison to some we have had this year, but whereas some of those more difficult themes have been easy for me, this one was far more challenging. Why? Because I don't have a single smiley in the house, and I have no idea where to get one from. So, I decided the only solution was to draw my own, which I did with my beloved Derwent Studio pencils. I did that on purpose partially because I needed a smiley, but also, because the theme is selective colour, I wanted to show the name of the colours I used in the photo in the black and white portion of the photo. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile like my smiley!
As this is the last "Smile on Saturday" before the New Year, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy New Year. May the year ahead be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
Derwent, or the Derwent Cumberland Pencil Company, is a manufacturer of pencils and other stationery. The business began in 1832 in Cumberland under the name of Banks, Son & Co. The company was bought by Acco UK and became a brand of their product range.
Phoenix Lock, is situated at the Western end of the main stretch of the Derby Canal from Sandiacre to Derby, just before it entered into the River Derwent by St Mary's Bridge. The lock's purpose was to regulate the flow of water into the canal from the Derwent, and also permit vessels to negotiate any varience in water levels, if any.
Alongside (R/H side) is the beginning of Nottingham Road, with it's adjacent terrace of shops and houses (featured in my 'Bridge Inn' painting) in the distance is St Mary's Bridge, with it's balustrades and alcoves, it formed the only route across the River Derwent into Derby from the North and East, until recent times, replacing earlier structures and originally a ford. Just beyond is the Duke Street Foundries, including the renown Andrew Handyside works. To the left, is part of a mill complex, situated on a tract of land that was known as Canary Island, being formed by the completion of the canal's dual outlets onto the River Derwent.
This drawing captures a Trent Barge negotiating the lock, having just passed the Phoenix Street bridge. The canal was built to accommodate these wide beam craft, which advantaged its commercial viability. This river connection also permitted navigation to the upper reaches of the Derwent in the Derby area.

I tried so hard :), took a creative photo of the spiked object for Macro Mondays, but alas, it was removed from the group. OK, good. Here is the whole drawing.
All the same as previous - botanical illustration. Graphite pencil. Wild Rose.
'Gandy's Wharf' was a grain/animal feed warehouse built in the late 1700's, during the early days of the Derby Canal. It was situated between the Cattle Market and Day's Locks, near the Siddals area of Derby. Its neighbour, the building by the Cattle Market Bridge, housed the well-known Derby firm of agricultural engineers and merchants, 'Tinkler & Hudson'. While the upper floor was occupied by Derby's solitary answer to Soho! The Windmill Club!! Above and beyond, can be seen several famous local landmarks. At the lower end of the roof, is the 'Crenelated' top of the Shot Tower, where molten lead was poured through sieves to form lead shot, musket balls etc. To the right, can be seen the tall chimneys of the Derby Power Station, flanking the River Derwent. Next to their R/H base, is the Lantern Tower of the Silk Mill [reputedly, the first modern factory ever built] now home to The Industrial Museum. On the left, the spire of St Aulkmunds (CofE) and the tower of Pugin's, St Mary's (RC) churches, which stood opposite each other on the historic Bridgegate. All but St Mary's and the Silk Mill, disappeared during the building of the Inner Ring Road. Historic photos have been referenced.
No 16 in the series.
This the 15th pencil study from the Derby Canal Series, captures the Eastern entranc, from the adjacent bank of the Erewash Canal. Just beyond the little accommodation bridge, lies Sandiacre Bottom Lock, the first encounted on the Derby system, and making Derby accessible to the Cromford (Arkwright Mills, etc) and Nottingham canals, plus the River Trent & Soar Navigations and the rest of the national network. It was built wide enough to accommodate a single Trent Barge or two Narrow Boats side by side through the locks. This also gave access to the seaports on the River Humber, and international markets. Thus being a vital transport link before the arrival of the railways. And a chief facilitator of Derby's growth as an industrial centre in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today the Erewash Canal is a quiet, but still navigable Waterway. The bridge still exists, but is blocked off, the lock chamber behind it is part excavated, but needs much work to fully restore, the rest of the route towards Derby, is a footpath. The entrance is still used by moored boats, and the Swans continue to patrol their territory. Historic & personal photographs have been used to create this picture
Turkish Van Cat Portrait
Created with Midjourney AI engine. She reminds me of my sweet Snowflake cat.
Prompt: color pencil drawing, a white Turkish van cat, portrait, isolated on a white background
The Turkish Van is a semi-long-haired, standardised breed of domestic cat, which was developed in the United Kingdom from a selection of cats obtained from various cities of modern Turkey, especially southeast Turkey.: 112 The breed is rare, is one of the larger breeds, and is distinguished by the Van pattern (named after the breed), where the colour is restricted to the head and the tail, and the rest of the cat is white; this is due to the expression of the piebald white spotting gene, a type of partial leucism.: 148 A Turkish Van may have blue or amber eyes, or be odd-eyed (having one eye of each colour).

A part of my next big paintwork. Ideas are often big and interesting but when it comes to technical realization I often get stuck, hope not this time. And Chinese motives, of course
