I am a traditional artist. I like to be able to touch my works with my fingers, my brushes, my pencils. The feel of the canvas or paper caresses my heart and soul, brings out my emotions, and captivates my senses. It is said that "home is where the heart is"...and my heart is at home wherever I have my art supplies.

In this world of technological advances in digital imagery, traditional art does not seem to be as actively pursued as it once was. It is my fervent hope that it never becomes a lost art.

There are many outstanding traditional artists on deviantART. This is my salute to a few of them whose drawings are very well-executed, appealing to the eye, and indicative of their superb talent.
