Title of Artwork: Its A Mystery

Medium: Oil

Support: Canvas

Describe This Painting: This is painting of an tree located on Hornby Island B C. I found it to be the most sensual and mystifing tree I have even seen or tried to paint. My first idea for the painting was to add some back ground elements like woodland creatures hiding behind it etc.but the more I worked on the image the more I realized the tree had all the elements I needed and my focus was the tree. It was indeed a mystery. The path going from the tree leads you into the woods and the possiblity of further discovery.

Title of Artwork: A String of Memories

Dimensions of Artwork: 14 x 18

Medium: Charcoal and graphite

Support: White watercolor paper

Website: http://www.jdhillberry.com

Describe this Piece: This entire image is drawn including the background, tape, and string. It is considered trompe l’oeil drawing. Tinker Toys, Yo-Yos, Jacks, and Lincoln Logs and are some of the toys that baby-boomers grew up with. These toys from the past represent a much simpler time that many people yearn for. A photo captures a moment in time, but I’ve drawn the Yo-Yo string in a way that links us to the past.
