Richeson 75 Pastel On Line

Happy to announce that both Autumn Tree and Park Running were chosen as finalists in the Richeson 75 Pastels On Line exhibit. I'll post the link when it opens.

Above the Beach

Done in my studio today. 16 x 20. Trying for interesting horizons.

Under Sail

A small painting which I had fun designing and painting the sailors. I really don't know boats but had fun.

Painting demo...broken egg

I demoed this still life of a broken egg this morning

Italian Cafe

Doing a bunch of pastels...a new one

Horse drawn carriage demo

My current class is quite advanced, so my demo Monday morning was on 8 x 8 inch canvas of this image. I was not sure I'd pull it off....but I wanted to make it about design (the original photo has much more in it) and working with mass and shape...especially simplifying the more complicated images.

Backview nude

Back to pastels in my drawing group. I am thrilled to be asked to show my pastels in the Blue Heron Gallery in Wellfleet, Mass. Need to create a lot by May!
