8 x 10 inch pastel "Newborn Fawn"

SOLD - Sept 15/09
I was very productive this weekend, finishing two paintings. This is done on suede matboard as per usual. A newborn deer, maybe minutes old.

11 x 14 inch pastel "Wild Ponies"

I found this wonderful photo on Morguefile.com and fell in love. This is done on suedeboard in soft pastels. I love paintings horses!

8 x 10 inch pastel "Morning Marsh"

I thought I would try another marsh scene. This one is done on canson pastel paper with a lot of different soft pastels.

8 x 10 inch pastel "Sunset Marsh"

I found this picture that I really loved and immediately wanted to paint it in pastels. This is done on sanded pastel paper with a lot of different soft pastels.

11 x 14 inch acrylic "Fall Morning"

This is another attempt at using acrylic paint. It is done on stretched canvas. This is a typical fall morning around here with the mist between the hills. I am working frantically this week at finishing off some ideas I have for my show in January and a couple of Xmas gifts. I have a two pastels that I would like to get done (of horses, my favorite subject) this week while I am off from work. Maybe by the weekend I will get to post them.

8 x 10 inch pastel "A Fine Winter's Morning"

This painting is an experiment on the smooth side of Canson pastel paper. The paper is a beautiful orange color which compliments the blues and purples I have used throughout this painting. The painting depicts the first light of morning as it shines over a snowy field. I love how the orange of the paper glows thru the pastel.

12 x 12 inch pastel "Snow Leopard"

I just finished this painting on suedeboard in soft pastel. I like the colors I used in this painting and already have a square frame all ready for it.

5 x 6 inch pastel "Elk"

I haven't worked on velour paper for awhile so I thought I would try this elk. I might even make a xmas card out of this one.

9 x 12 inch pastel "Wild Pony"

Another painting done on sanded pastel paper in soft pastel. This paper is excellent for creating landscapes but it is a little more difficult to do detailed work because of it's coarse nature. I tried to keep this painting a little looser, especially the horse.
