The West Virginian

Great work with your pencil, Davie!

This drawing is so intriguing,Dave. You have truly captured a solitary moment of a man in his neck of the woods. Being comfortable in and loving the piece of land you inhabit is a rare gift,and you have recreated those emotions! Love this..

Revisiting this stunning pencil drawing, Dave. You need to do more.. perhaps a companion piece Hello from the desert.

Great Drawing, Dave!

I have a similar drawing in The Declaration of Independence ( The Wurtherington Diary #2) with a revolutionary attired colonist. I like the density of the forest, Dave in this gem. Lovely as ever! FAV!

Dave, I've just been looking at your pencil drawings with admiration. Your portrayals of the early pioneers are exceptional. This one is impressive and your delicate pencil work contrasts wonderfully with the tough character and conditions in which he lived. Another favourite from your gallery. Fav'/voted.

Hi Dave--this reminds me tiny bit of one of the drawings in the Declaration of Independence (book) that has a man with a rifle and trees. Well done. Beautiful as one could ever hope! FAV

I love the feel of this drawing Dave, It tells of the roughness, of how it was back then; hunting, and living in those times! Excellent piece!! l/f/fb
