I am a classically trained musician (bassoon) who loves to draw and now works as a secretary for a police department (life happens).

I have two cats, love God, reading (particularly British cozy mysteries), classical music & composers (Beethoven, Vivaldi, etc.), symphony orchestras, art (realism being my favorite) and much, much more.

My favorite singers are Adam Lambert, Josh Groban, John Barrowman & Nancy Knote. Adam's guitarist, Tommy Joe Ratliff, unknowingly to him, motivated me to return to drawing after I quit years ago.

I have recently become interested in other pop/rock bands (surprise to me) but no one will ever replace Tommy or Adam.

I started this blog out to post my drawings of Tommy but it has turned out to reflect how I feel, what I love and what I find interesting and beautiful. You'll basically get to know a lot about me after viewing "My World in Grays."

If anyone would like to commission a drawing from a photograph, please contact me at cargill214@yahoo.com (I'm not that expensive). See my work here or more at http://joilieder.deviantart.com/

Enjoy!

Photo with 16 notes

A treat for this night - a new drawing of Tommy by the wonderful ListoffSAY (Svetlana from Russia).  I had asked her a little bit ago to consider drawing Tommy, and she did!!!!  Yay!!!!  And now I can go and have Tommy dreams. LATER NOTE:  Svetlana and I exchanged comments after I posted this.  I told her he was beautiful and in her broken English stated that “He’s a great guy! The truth came out not quite accurate, but it’s not a copy, but just my attitude to man.”  She told me the other day that she’s trying to draw from photographs (realism or copy) and when she says “the truth came out not quite accurate,” she’s means that it’s not photo realism.  And “attitude to man” means her attitude or feelings at the moment she was drawing Tommy. Well, I love her style of drawing and I love seeing her “attitude” in her drawings. http://listoffsay.deviantart.com/
