Hello!
Just hopping in to wish you the best day ever!
A pure, 100% colored pencil piece. Sometimes I have to dust off my Polychromos, play some crazy music, and let the joy happen! What an awesome way to calm my mind as the pencils work their magic.
This little 6×7” finished piece took about 8 hours after my initial sketch. My materials consisted of a dozen or so Faber-Castell oil based Polychromos colored pencils, a sheet of 9×12” Canson 120lb mixed media white paper, and hours of Three Dog Night (of course “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog” was, and still is my favorite).
Hope he makes you smile from ear to ear!
Until next time ……. be curious
a curious nature 
Fabulous, Barb! This frog brought a smile to my face and I love how he is confidently perched on the flower bud! So glad you had a relaxing time letting your colored pencils flow along with the music!

Thanks so much, Karen! Glad he made you smile. It was so relaxing (after I worked hard on the sketch). My Polychromos glide on the paper like butter and blend so beautifully! I’ve promised myself to use them more often (as I do believe they are sorely neglected). Have an awesome day!

Thanks so much! Is that a smile on your face? We used to live on the east coast where tree frogs are so plentiful and noisy, you can barely take a step or hear yourself think! Never thought I’d miss them. Guess I was wrong, which is why this little charmer landed on my paper.
