Paths

Pastel on paper- 8.5x11

A couple portraits

I couldn't resist...I had to draw all those around me.

First at the ER...well I was there for someone else. So while there, why not sketch?

And one in chalk pastels done at home...

Alive

My first painting of 2017 was completed today. I named it "Alive" since it was this spectacular cedar tree that I saw on a hike near Cultus Lake. Looking at this great giant, in the midst of a rain forest on the Pacific Northwest I felt alive. Painting this brought back each of these memories!

Acrylic, 14x18 inches

H2

Camping! Some sites are magical and I felt this magic at site H2. All the creativity was re-energized at this special spot off the beach trail, with majestic cedars all around. 

This will be in the Artist Choice show at the O'Connor Art Gallery starting this week. 

Columbia Valley Cedars

I re-worked these and love it even more! 

Before and after

Mini Leather Jacket Girl

This is a chalk pastel that started while I was sitting at the Art Gallery. 14x 17 inches. 

First Day of Ballet

Thank you Ana for the amazing water colour pencils and paper. Here's my first attempt. It's really the little one's first class and she was more interested in the tap class...she peaked until the curtain was closed.

This is a 8.5x11piece on "fancy" water colour paper.
