Freckles------Finally!

Freckles

12 x 9, pastel

Finally, Freckles went to live in his forever home! This painting has been completed for months, but had to keep it under wraps until I could give it to my sister-in-law and nieces. Well, this weekend it finally happened. It was a total surprise and I think they are pretty happy.

Keep in mind I do commissions of pets and people. Christmas will be here before we know it!  I know.....bite my tongue!

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.

Awesome Workshop

Guadalupe Fall Color

12 x 6, pastel

Had the privilege of taking a workshop with Richard McKinley in Minneapolis August 20-22; learned so much. The knowledge he possesses is just amazing, plus he is so willing to share it with all who are interested, gracious to all. I would highly recommend his workshop.

This painting was begun on the second day. The base was a watercolor underpainting. I was so apprehensive prior to the workshop, worrying that I could not paint to the level of the other students. There were so many fabulous artists in the group, but I think I did OK, very pleased with the progress and knowledge gained there.

Now to put it into practice!! More to follow!
