Peace in the Barnyard

Nancy Robinson

Graphite pencil

This is a project I did in an art class taught by Cindy Smith, a wonderful pencil artist from Emmett, Idaho. It challenged me more than I expected-sometimes to the point of discomfort-but I’m so grateful I did it!

I loved drawing this farm scene. Drawing animals brings me the most joy, especially capturing their expressions. With our Border Collie and ducks, this scene could easily have been on our farm! I look forward to drawing more of our own critters here.
