This really is coming along nicely. Thank you for letting us know what colors you're using. Also, I went to Flicker. Are those your dogs in the bed of the pickup? They are so cute!!! Great photo.

Hi Vicki - so glad to be back in the fold looking at my favourite blogs and this one is a stunner. Great compositional photo in an earlier post and wonderful to have all this WIP detail and colours.

Thank you Patty, Candy, Deb & Joan for your comments and support. Patty would you like to see wip on my watercolors too or is your interest just in colored pencil? Candy glad to share info and yes those are my doggies (they are both very spoiled rescue muts). My DH only hauls 1/2 truck load of wood at a time because the doggies like to ride. Thanks for visiting my flickr site.
Deb it takes longer to do a colored pencil piece but I do like the idea at hetic times in my life that I can pick it up for 10-15 minutes at a time and put it down without having to pick up, cover up, clean up etc. so I really can't say I am super patient.
Joan so good to see you and thanks for the vote of confidence.
