Colored Pencil Gallery
S. Jewell S. McGhee likes to call her drawings "painting with pencils." She first started using colored pencils to help her mother write names on lunch bags for school. "My mom would pick matching themes for the names on our bags; all balloons, or sunrises, or sometimes just geometric shapes. She always made them so beautiful; a plain brown bag lunch was, all at once, a love note, a story, a hug, and simple colors to enlighten us for the rest of the day." These bags also became a constant reminder that art was simple, attainable, and a part of every day.
Invitation
If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!
