After a bitof a struggle I finally pulled this one out.  It's really big, so the blue wash is quite stunning.  I am happy :)

Here is ther first in a new series in an effort to loosen up.  It certainly makes working faster... 2 days as opposed to 2 weeks!  I love the San Pedro Harbor :)

So apparently there is a big market for pastels these days.  Art groups are looking for pastel teachers  and I"m meeting with Destination Art in Torrance tomorrow to set up a demo.  I've been reintroducing myself to pastels all weekend.  This first Sedona scene came out alright.  Next time I will not draw on the wrong side of the paper. :)

Well this is way more nature than what I'm used to painting.  It's cool and madenning at the same time.

Last week was a rough one so I'm making sureto start this one off on a good note.  This piece is going to take a lot longer than I had at first aniticipated.  The detail in the folliage is going to be a bit maddening but I can't wait to see the finished piece!

Finally, I am back to painting.  It feels like it's been forever!
My whole world has been turned upside down with all this house drama.  Getting back to painting is just the escape I needed.  It can be hard to sit down and paint when the world around you is falling apart... even though you know how much it will help.  At least I finally found the motivation.  Class last night helped get me going.
 This one has way more nature than I'm used to painting.   I mapped out the main bits... I'm excited to try out some new paints... Hoping to get most of this done this weekend!
