Another in my fruit and polka dot series! Fun to use a color I never use.

This is an oil I just posted on my "Oil Blog", but thought I would post it here too, as an experiment. The problem with having 2 blogs, and having one come later, is the #2 (oil) doesn't get as much attention. I still feel I need 2, since my pastel and oils seem to be so different. So, let me know if anyone has a better idea, or is mixing them up a good thing? I tend to think it is better to keep styles separate.

Two more studies of figures. Challenging to get some detail but not too much. I like doing these exercises. I am entering this in a painter's challenge. Let me know your choice!

These are works in pastel. I wanted to do loose figures with loose strokes like everyone always talks about with oils. It was fun and a good learning experience. I like the results, of course the real practice that I really didn't care about, # 1, is the one I like best. No pressure, always works! Can you tell she is on rocks? Tell me what you think!!

As always, I will mat and frame pastels for sales.

Frozen Marsh

8 x10 Pastel on paper

This is a little off season to be posting a wintery scene, especially when everyone is celebrating spring! However, I had been wanting to paint this for a while, and experimented with colors a little. I liked the scene and the frozen marsh, we get to skate thru the reeds here in the winter.
