AVA Gallery Demo and Raffle

I did this 16 x 20 pastel as a demo for AVA Gallery in Lebanon, NH at their annual holiday show.  It was then raffled off as a fundraiser.  AVA is a fabulous art center which serves the Upper Valley community.

Monday oil class treat

Monday morning we had a wonderful woman model for us.  This is my demo from that day.  11 x 14 oil on canvas.  Those that chose to paint her did a great job!

For Paige

This is an 12 x 16 painting I did from a professional photo of my daughter's friend Paige's wedding.  She is an amazing person and friend and I wanted to give this to her as a present.

Maryland Pastel Society Workshop

My workshop in Rockville, Maryland was great!  I taught three days and juried the awards for their Shades of Pastel show that I had previously juried for entries.  I was asked to do a portrait too on my last day so two demos that day and then a demo at the show as well.  Exhausting but great fun!


I was disappointed not to have the color paper I wanted for my portrait demo...had to go on darker and cooler background

Oil Demo 11/11

Did this 8 x 10 demo for my oil class yesterday.  The idea was to create the horses both with the positive shapes you put in and carving back to clarify the shapes
