Tom

Tom  14 x 11 pastel 

I delivered this wedding gift a few days ago, so it's safe to post. Tom was quite fun to paint and I decided he needed the periwinkle border at the last minute.

Funky Chicken IV

 

 Funky Chicken IV  12 x 9 pastel on gatorboard

I needed a fast, loose chicken today. Nothing else was working. For some reason, chickens
are very forgiving.

International Association of Pastel Societies

Not A Dozen  14 x 11 pastel                                   Bushel of Tears  14 x 11 pastel

I am delighted to announce both these paintings have been juried into The 25th IAPS Juried Exhibition/2014 Webshow.  I will send a link when the show is posted online in late November for you to see all the wonderful pastels.

By the time Bushel of Tears returns to it's owners it will have covered quite a lot of territory:
The Donald Gallery (Dobbs Ferry, NY), National Arts Club (NYC), Butler Institute of American Art (Youngstown, OH) and The 25th IAPS Exhibition (the World).

Another Nap

Another Nap     8 x 10 pastel on UART    $400

It's rainy here in NY. Instead of taking a nap I decided to try another painting of my cat. 

Someone once told me if you want to have a good life, live like a cat: never underestimate the value of a good nap, eat when you are hungry, play when you feel like it, live like it's your ninth life. 

Sage advice.

Naptime

Naptime 9 x 12 pastel   SOLD

I did this at the tail end of a 4 day plein aire workshop with Liz Haywood Sullivan in Litchfield, CT.  We had some time left and I was tired of landscapes and had a photo of my cat, Moon.

This will go to a dear friend so I will get to visit it!
