  1. I think I am just echoing the comments you already received. Your beach drawings are spectacular! The pier looks like a photo…You’ve got some serious talent, California Artist!

  2. Jana, I don’t think I have ever seen your beach drawings. They are beautiful! Can we see more on the blog or somewhere? Marjie

    • Thank you, Marjie. I’ve always been torn between the beach and the mountains, which is why I seem destined for life in the Central Valley. This is the sum total of all my beach drawings. I’m always available for commissions!

  3. Thank you, Joel. That pier turned out pretty well, and I can’t remember which beach it is from. Love those old wooden structures!

    Thank you, Jennifer. If you click on the category of Lessons, your daughter can find some tips for realistic drawing. Email me any time if she wants extra help!

  4. What fun to peak into your mind and your art classes. I need to have my daughter peer through your website and enjoy it. She is learning drawing right now for school, and loves it, pulling out drawing books from the library in her free time.

    Your titles give me glimpses into your life too: Honeymoon Cabin, a friend’s ride, etc.

    Have a great week!
