Autumn Golds

Autumn Golds

8 x 10, pastel

Painting this was the beginning of 3 wonderful days in Junction, Texas, enjoying artist friends, lovely countryside, in a warm inviting Christian environment. Just doesn't get much better. Driving back in to the Great House requires crossing the Llano River. This painting is an adaption of that lovely area.

Spent the morning hanging new work in the Gallerie at Gruene. So very blessed to be a part of such a wonderful gallery and group of artists. Drop by if you are in the area!

Shhhhhhhhh......... Merry Christmas!!

Shhhhhh....

10 x 8, pastel

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!

Third in a series of Christmas Santas, but the first pastel. This painting is my Christmas card and came about after a wonderful workshop in beautiful, rural, Junction, Texas with fabulous artist, Margaret Evans.

I am notorious for having a detailed drawing before I begin a painting.......not this time, no drawing. Following the block-in with pastel, as Margaret uses, this painting just flowed. That rarely happens, but so thrilled with the results of this one!! Thank you, Margaret!!!
