Another Autumn

 

Another Autumn  11 x 14 pastel  SOLD

I have painted this gal three times. First as Autumn, then as Fall and finally as Another Autumn.

You might be asking "why the same cow all the time?" Well, there just aren't a lot of cows in Westchester County NY, so when she was at the fence by the road on the Rockefeller Estate I knew it was my only opportunity to get a good image. Now that I live in Vermont the photo-ops are endless.

Fall and Autumn sold in 2015, but Another Autumn has been with me since 2016. A few days ago she went home to a new collector from Malabar in Vergennes, VT. I also have other paintings there, so check it out if you are in the area. 

I will miss Another Autumn, but I am happy she will will be cared for in a new home.

On another note, I have moved my domain to a new host. I am on the fence about continuing the blog. But please subscribe to my website at cristinekossow.com and received updates when I post new work and publish a newsletter. 

Goin' My Way?

 Going My Way? 9 x 17 pastel

"Going My Way?" was accepted in the Central Mass Pastel Society's Pastels Plus Exhibition. This exhibition decided to "bend the rules" and allow other mediums to be incorporated along with soft pastel. 

I mounted the fish wrapping paper on a board, gave it a coat of gritty gesso and then painted the fish in pastel. It was a lot of fun and now I am on the hunt to "themed" papers. Let me know if you have something that might make an interesting background.
