#wip I'm doing little drawings and paintings. 4x6 inches. Wee ones. #figure #itdoesart #jdreag #dreag #graphite #drawing #surreal #landscape #headless #shadows #raleighnc #raleighartist #raleigharts

Landscape with a dark blue sky and a bright yellow halo in the center featuring a headless, armless naked body seeming to trudge through the dirt and reach toward the sky.

Still #working on this #wip. Thinking of adding angular shapes around the perimeter or maybe a #graphite or #pastel #vignette Not sure yet. #art #drawing #sketch #portraiit #headdress #face #eyes #cold #stare #raleighnc #raleighartist #raleigharts #itdoesart #dreag #jdreag

I found a tiny #sketch of this in an old #sketchbook, but it had watercolor on it. I'm not sure if I'm going to do that to this bigger version or not. I might just deepen the shadows and leave it all graphite

Some drawings are meant to be scrapped. This is one. Eventually it will be removed from the book and I'll cut the head out, paste it on a bigger piece of paper, and draw bunny ears and maybe a snowman body. #fun #ideas #drawing #art #doodle #sketchbook #itdoesart #itdidntdoart #jdreag #dreag

I really want to do something with this sketch, but haven't figured out what yet. It's just been waiting on my sketchbook for several months. #art #sketch #drawing #itdoesart #dreag #jdreag #sketchbook #doodle #raleigharts #raleigh #surrealism #portrait #figure #hand #scrawling #wip #idea

A figure looking at the viewer with a broken head and a tear falling from their eye. Done in pastels and graphite using muted colors.

#WIP I haven't worked on it since July 30th (I think) so I added #pastels throughout the night. Still not done, but close to what's in my head. #art #itdoesart #jdreag #dreag #surreal #dream #landscape #portrait #broken #eyes #drawing #painting #raleigharts #raleigh #graphite #figure #halo

An image of a collection of 14 business cards with J Dreag's surreal paintings and drawings on them.

My new business cards from #Moo arrived! I did 14 different pictures of my work instead of the usual 5 and they turned out really well! I'm thrilled!
