wait for me • in progress

Ansley and Bea. I love my little Bea's body in this image..especially her fingers poking out on her right hand, just grazing the hardwood floor. Ansley, my niece spent the night and Bea wanted to follow her everywhere.

There are some areas not working yet, so I will post the finished painting soon!

Art Show at Suzuki

This is the banner/sign that just went to the printers...fingers crossed it prints nicely!

It is for the show this weekend. Details are listed in the previous post and below....

I'll be featuring just painting and pastels-with some silhouettes as well. No glass this time!

Also, Brad will be showing his latest adventure--soap! Smile Soaps & Detergents will make its debut. We have been testing it on friends and now it will be available for all to try! He has some fabulous, all-natural, 100& vegan soaps in a variety of scents. Detergent will not be available for this show, but will be ready to unleash soon!

Please come by and say hello!

Crocus • pastel

the first sign of spring! i love the crocus. a few years ago I planted some bulbs and they come back every year - the first to pop out when the weather is still bleak and we have a warm day followed by a freezing day. I guess they are just hearty little fellows. i was worried when i spotted them and then the next day it snowed (for the 3rd? time this year) we never get snow. regardless, they are still opening up every morning when the sun hits.

I had to capture one and bring it inside to paint because they will be gone before i know it.

Pastel • Spider Mum

Spider Mum. Pastel 5x7"

on pastelbord.

I really enjoy drawing and painting glass. The reflections become abstract shapes and the colors are unexpected.

Last week I bought a bouquet of these mums and broke them up and placed them in individual glass votives. They look fun sprinkled on the table with little tea lights. Now some are falling apart, so I caught this one this morning.

hesitation

I really liked how the figures showed caution as they made their way in the water. Plus the gray Atlantic often looks a little ominous. Even on a beautiful day, it is just the color that it is.

I extended the height of this one because I wanted the shadows on the sand at the bottom.

So, that makes this a 9" x 8". cropped image shown here.
