Barn 8

Barn 8  6 X 6 pastel

I really enjoyed painting this small barn. We had a working VPS (Vermont Pastel Society) meeting today. We were supposed to bring in a lesson from a book or magazine that we wanted to try. I didn't do that, but decided to try to paint a barn in two different palettes.

Here is the first barn I tried with a cooler palette, which is usually my "go-to" palette. 

Beverage Center

"Beverage Center" framed pastel triptych (three 5 x 7 images)

I painted "Pepsi" and "Nesbits" in Feb 2017, and finished up with "Hires" yesterday. It's been on my "to-do" list for that long!

"Beverage Center" has gone home to a loyal patron and owner of the extensive collection of vintage lighters I gleaned from.  

Umbria

 Umbria  7 x 5 pastel

Umbria has safely arrived in New Mexico. This has been in the queue since early summer, then I broke my wrist. 

My sister-in-law sent me a picture of this charming espresso pot she spotted in the 16th century abbey she was staying at in Umbria. She really wanted to steal it, but decided in might be safer to commission me to paint it. It was a blast to paint and I was thrilled to surprise her with it as a gift.
