1. Experiment with color

2. From Imagination

3. From imagination

4. Scene in Italy

For this first drawing, I tried to use colored pencil. I hope you like it.

The 2nd one is out of my imagination, looking down on the church through arches.

The 3rd one is out of my imagination again.

Number 4 is an alley in Italy.

Note from Kerry:
Hi Ricky
Your artwork is a delight to study, each drawing is an exercise in intricate detail and I have to admire your patience. My favorite of these is the alley, incredible work Ricky.

Thank you Kerry. I will always be thankful to you for inspiring me. I was about to give up drawing because I thought my work was not good. Then you told me that you liked it. I was surprised to hear that and now I have the courage to draw. Thank you.

Thank you Ricky
I am very pleased you are continuing to draw Ricky, it would be criminal for you to stop! You must be a harsh self-critic because I think your work has a charm all of its own. It sounds like you would be surprised to learn how many people really do love your artwork!!

Individual Artists have their own group of admirers because us humans are each very different and while we like some artwork, there is artwork around that we don't particularly like. Of course, that has nothing to do with the artist, it's simply the way we view the world.

Keep drawing Ricky and I hope you are deriving as much pleasure in the creation as we do in the viewing!

LOVE your artwork..

WOW.. Excellent artwork.. I love street scapes and buildings..
These are awesome, keep up the good work..

Ricky .. Never say you think your drawings are no good..
All art is good and all artists have something to say with their art..
Just do it friend, do lots of it and as often as you feel like..
I use my art as stress reliever and because I love drawing etc..
Your skill and talent for architecture and street scapes is obvious..
Enjoy your art and your creations..

Don't Stop!!
Hey Ricky! I agree with everyone else...please do not stop drawing! You are better than you think you are.....I really mean that. Please...please...keep drawing! I personally like #3 the best. I have always enjoyed viewing buildings and things from inside other things.....it gives a feeling that you are actually there and standing inside the buildings or on the grounds.
Never put your art down.. (I should talk , lol)...

Update
by: Kerry

Hi Ricky
For various reasons, "Your Space" is not operating right now but stay tuned to the newsletter for the announcement when you can once again upload your artwork. It is a long story so I won't bore you with details about why it is not available.

It is wonderful that your wife is enjoying your artwork. Please don't think badly of your family for not supporting you - maybe they just aren't interested in drawing so they don't see anything special about it. I think I enjoy my drawings the most but that is ok by me since I do them for my own interest and pleasure.

Who knows, one day your grandchildren may gaze at your drawings in absolute awe once they become fully aware that it isn't easy to accomplish such wonderful drawings!

I'm happy to learn you are back doing some drawings and may you stay in good health right through 2012.

THANK YOU EACH AND EVERY ONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I REALLY THOUGHT THAT MY WORK WAS USELESS AS MY CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN NEVER GIVE ME SUPPORT OR SHOW INTEREST, THAT IS WHY I DOUBTED MYSELF. ONLY MY WIFE ENJOYS MY WORK. I THOUGHT IT LACKED THE WOW FACTOR

I really like the perspective you used on these pieces. The dark blacks really make the building stand out. Keep on drawing, I would like to see more.

Wishes.....
by: Michael Betz

I wish you nothing but the best Ricky. You have to get better to get back here with more of your great drawings. Our middle son Jared, has had a hernia operation and an operation in each eye before the age of 9, so yes, I know how hard it is to keep a youngin still......I'd rather wrestle an aligator......*smile*........

thinking of you
by: Kerry

Hi Ricky
My granddaughter just had a hernia operation and her recuperation period was 6 weeks. She is 6 yrs old so imagine trying to keep such a bundle of energy still for that long!! She did very well though and we think everything is ok with her.

I wish you well and I hope you get better very quickly. You can't move around much but you'll still be able to draw. Pack all your art materials into one handy bag (to keep it all together, within easy reach) and you'll be good to go.
