Old Home Place

Old Home Place

8 x 10, pastel

This painting has a serendipitous story behind it. I was delivering a painting to the woman whose family had owned this place up until recently. I asked permission to take photos. I loved the cattle and the barn. So many photos are taken and never used for paintings, but one evening I decided that it was time that I attempted to paint these cattle and their surroundings. This was such a fun painting to create, just sort of fell together! Love when that happens!!

Happy New Year

Not Now

20 x 16, Pastel

Hope all of you have a Great New Year. We started it off in a wonderful way-----------at the Cotton Bowl cheering the Aggies on to victory. My condolences to the OU fans, including my son-in-law.

"Not Now" will be hanging at the Candlelight Cafe, 3011 N St. Mary's, in San Antonio this month. The restaurant is featuring the Texas Pastel Society members. I am excited to get my art out at a new venue. Hoping to get some good feed back. I am trying to decide the 2 other pictures to hang in the show. Will let you know when I decide.

The cool thing about this painting is that the bull really had his head resting on her backside. The evening sun was shining so brightly in my eyes while snapping pictures, I only found it out when I was looking at the photos on the computer.
