Days End

6" x 12", pastel

This is a new painting that I placed in the gallery at Pitzer's Fine Arts, 13909 Ranch Road 12, in Wimberley, Texas, today. I am so blessed to have my art in this gallery!

I love to paint skies. They are so beautiful, ever changing and often dramatic. All the makings of a great painting!!

Wonderful News!!

Caffe' Italiano
16" x 16", pastel

Last month I entered 3 pastel paintings in the Austin Pastel Society Juried Member Exhibition with the hopes of getting one accepted by juror and judge, Mike Beeman. Caffe' Italiano, Let's Play and A Hard Life were all accepted into the show! I am ecstatic, to say the least!

There were 123 entries with only 50 accepted---I am humbled to be included 3 times. The show opens on March 2 and runs through May 4 at the Corridor of Art, 700 Lavaca, Austin, Texas. The show is open 8am-6pm Monday through Friday only.

The awards ceremony will be Thursday, April 23 from 4-6pm. Hope you can get by and see the 50 selected paintings during the show and the award ceremony to see the winners! I will keep you posted if I get that special email!

Painted another version of these pigs awhile back, and I guess I didn't post them. Thought I would try them again, but with a watercolor underpainting. The pigs were going to be shown in a local youth show and were shiny clean.

Sun is hiding behind the clouds, trying to peek out. Love painting this subject!

Seem to be in a painting quandry, can't get into the painting groove. So I turned to the ever present and always available subject matter! Just doesn't get any better than God's handiwork.

Finally, getting back to the sky series. It has been a long time. I have been continuing to collect photos of skies, but just couldn't get in the mood to paint them.

This sunset is a favorite and might become a larger painting  one of these days.
