Double Trouble

Double Trouble  12 x 12 soft pastel

A few weeks ago I sold Trouble. While I was thrilled he went home with a new collector,  we were missing him around the house so I painted him again. Same sheep, different reference photo.

Double Bass Scrolls and Beat It

 Double Bass Scrolls  12 x 30 pastel

Beat It 16 x 12 pastel

These two paintings have found a home with a new collector in Marshfield, Vermont. I knew Double Bass Scrolls would find the right owner someday, and Beat It is perfect for this kitschy kitchen collector.

I went to pick up my work from the Jackson Gallery today and found that Trouble went home with a new collector over the weekend. I will miss him, but am delighted he has found a forever home.

Day 14 Market Onions

Market Onions 5 x 7 pastel

Missed yesterday. I tried and tried and it wasn't happening. Nothing good to post. It happens. 

These onions are from a farmer's market, not sure where, but they remind me of summer— which we need right now in Vermont!

Bucky

Bucky 7 x 5 pastel

I took a break for a day or two. But today I was inspired by a few things: the weather image on my iPhone— not the temp as much as the background color— and my virgin box of Terry Ludwig Turquoise. 

It's been said (by my husband) "There is no substitute for the little black dress" and I say there is no substitute for a dash of turquoise. In this case I took it seriously. 

As I was painting, and fussing... I came up with a great line:

Leave it or grieve it

I think my artist friends will relate to this. And maybe it applies to life in general. 

Day 9 Rocks, Please

Rocks, Please  6 x 6 pastel

I had so much fun painting Neat, Please that I wanted to try something like it again. 

I found this image I took in Montreal. We were in a French bistro and it was Christmas. I remember the warm feeling and the way the restaurant glowed.

Day 8 Halfway, Again

Halfway, Again  6 x 6 pastel

I sliced open a glorious Indian River Red grapefruit this afternoon and knew what I was going to paint today. This is a revisit, which explains "again."  I painted this five years ago. Things have changed.
