My piece on display is a vibrant colored pencil drawing of the word "Joy!" so it can be for Christmas, any holiday celebration, or an expression of feeling for any season. Includes touches of marker/pen, and gold pencil within the lettering. Update: SOLD!

(If bought during the show, it will be replaced by other artwork on this theme. There is more "joyful" art in various styles, sizes and prices. Contact me if you'd like to purchase or request a similar piece.)
