Vineyard

I decided to post this painting I did a couple of years ago at a Richard Flynn Workshop as I was at my youngest son (Aaron's) house tonight helping him put plastic over his windows to prevent heat loss and he has this painting hanging in his dining room. I forgot that I really liked this pastel painting. I have not done pastel in awhile and it pulled at me to go at it again.

One of my other son s(Lee) just built shelves in my art room closet and now I am ready to paint again!!! I don,t mean the closet as I painted it last weekend. Not my favorite kind of painting!!! If only I can schedule in some time!!!!

Kingston Creek (Winterwonderland 3)

This is the fourth painting I have for Saint Davids Show. It is mixed media of watercolor and Pastel

I painted this before Christmas last year to put on my filing cabinet over my desk at work.

It is on 300lb. watercolor paper so I couldnot get it to stay on without a heavier tape so I brought it home . A few weeks ago I decided to fram it.

It is now cropped so the bush at the left is gone and the bottom half of the bush on the right is also covered with mat.

It measures 21X12 and is framed 31x22.

I do not really like winter but I love winter paintings.

The Bouquet

This is the floral painting I am putting in Saint David's Show.
I have cropped it some and it is now 7.5X7.5 framed 13.5X13.3
I really like the square format.
If you have been following my blog you have seen this as a work in process using three colors.
If not you can look back in my blog to find it.
