What I like very much is that in his paintings there are rarely the pencil strokes visible, you know what I mean?
Some artists only work with strokes, bigger, finer, heavier, lighter, hatched, cross hatched, all visible strokes. Mike prefers to see not the single stroke and this is what I like.

ho ho ho.....Merry Christmas Joanie! Nice picture of Santa!
Great tips Margaret! I was just re-looking at this picture because it is so cute. I'm wondering, do you apply a fixative when you are done to the watercolor pencil drawings?
Awww...thanks Andrea! Just so you know, when I was doing the cp version of this picture I went to your site to look at the picture that you did of Pippa!! ;0) I finished the cp of it yesterday, I just didn't have time to post it.
Aw Gerri that's a lovely card!
This is very cute. I like it very much
This is fantastic Sandie, I love it all including the hair, in fact Pippa's hair looked just like that until just recently.
Can't wait to see your CP version of it.
All the best to you and your family David! All the wonderful friends I have on this site are a true blessing and I couldn't ask for a better gift!
This is darling!
