About Me

My Photo
Antonia (Toni) Turner Krause
I have loved drawing for as long as I can remember. When I was about four, my sister showed me how to draw stick figures and cats out of circles and triangles and I can recall how it thrilled me. In elementary school I spent more time drawing than studying (not such a good thing). The teachers often asked me to draw posters for their classes and I also won several art contests as a child. Unfortunately, I had many struggles growing up and as a result, my art skills were eventually forgotten. Then came children and family commitments and, until I met Larry in 1999, art was the last thing on my mind. As a result of his insistence, I made the decision to become serious as an artist. It's been an exciting journey and my only regret is not starting sooner!

Julia completed


Okay, done at last.


Sunday I will be donating a commissioned portrait valued at $6,000 to a silent auction to help raise funds for Chyil Inc. Chyil is a foundation committed to transforming the lives of domestic violence survivors. I will be using this painting as a sample.
Wish me luck!

Lolly

This is a drawing that I did of my sister's dog Lolly.

Kylia

My sister just got on to me for not having this on my website, so, I decided to show it here because I'm having trouble accessing my site at this time.


This is my second portrait drawing, the first one isn't quite this good but it wasn't bad for a first.

This piece won second place in an international art contest.

Julia in progress

Well, as you can see I am struggling with this painting. I won't be happy with it until it's perfect. I'll get there and I'm confident that it will look great.

Julia in progress


Okay, this is after a couple more hours. I did a bit of tweaking and I'll be doing some more still. I didn't put any detail in the eyes yet because I want to be sure that everything is just right first.
