| It's a Cat Thing, 8x10" color pencil by Gale Shuba | 
I am retired and spend most of my free time with drawing. I started out with pastels and water soluble oils.  Then, I tried color pencils and fell in love with them.  I still bounce around sometimes, depending on my subject matter.  If I do pastels or oils for awhile, I yearn to get back to my color pencils.
I love to paint animals and will do them on commission.  I also love painting landscapes and flowers.  I work from photos and look for the unusual, like the cat.  I love what I do but still consider myself a work in progress.
