I've Got Your Back

I've got Your Back  18 x 24  pastel

Trying to figure out where this image came from and I thought I could safely say "somewhere in Vermont", but alas, this is from Schoharie, NY— a few years before I moved to VT where there is a cow on every corner.

Easter is late this year but the local bakery already has Hot X Buns. They are very good, but not as good as my next door neighbor in Hastings on Hudson. Her daughters would deliver them to our door fresh out of the oven.

They say "paint what you love." I have been struggling with subject matter lately but on a morning drive these gals were out in the bright sun and begging for me to take their picture and paint them.

I went back to an older painting and tried it on two different surfaces. The one on top is on UArt black 400. The bottom two are on gatorboard with a rough homemade surface of gesso and pumice. All different. 

This one was done in 2013:

Kind of fun to look at an old painting and have a "do-over." Here is the first one from January 2015.

I forgot to post this painting I did a few weeks ago. There is no limit to the number of barns to paint here in Vermont. 

Enjoy the weekend!

Got Butter?

Got Butter?  12 x 12 pastel

I have been painting, just not showing the results for a few reasons: one is scheduled for a juried show and the rest were wipe outs. Yep, four of them....

I went through my books for inspiration and found Bill Creevy's "The Pastel Book" and got totally jazzed to try a new mark making approach. His example was a lobster painting, so I had that on my mind.

I painted this lobster in 2014 and decided it might be a fun image to work with, and larger.
