Another demo from the Lewisville, West Virginia workshop earlier this month. It was a fun and productive learning experience for all!

Lanugo is a synonym for Fuzz. This fuzzy angora goat was a demo at my workshop in West Virginia earlier this month.

I don't have progress photos, but I have lots of raw video from the workshop, which will be picked apart by my video editor (my daughter) in the next few weeks and added to my YouTube channel. Stay tuned!

Doesn't her face look just like mime makeup?

She was one of my triple-demo from my Ohio workshop earlier this month. Here are some progress shots from the demo:

Mini Sunset 14

Mini Sunset 14 (pastel, 2x2 inches) $60 framed

This is it for a while... The cute little gold frames are all used up. I've enjoyed these sunsets though, and might do another slightly larger batch sometime. Maybe 6x6?

Meanwhile, these little ones that are left (numbers 6-14) have been moved to The Gallery at Round Top, which will be happy to offer you a deal on two or more...

Transience of Innocence - sold!

"Transience of Innocence" (pastel, 26x19 inches) sold

Just wanted to brag a couple of things about this, one of my most successful competition pieces this year. I'm thrilled to say that she has found a buyer at The 45th PSA Annual Exhibition: Enduring Brilliance! which runs from September 5 – September 30, 2017 at the National Arts Club, New York, NY.

At the end of the PSA show she will be shipped to her permanent home in Alabama (Thanks, Carrie!)

Transience of Innocence has has a short but eventful exhibition career. Finished in January of this year, she was first accepted into the Hudson Valley Art Association' 84th Annual Juried Exhibition at the Salmagundi Club in New York City in April, returning in time to drive with me in June to the International Association of Pastel Societies 4th Masters Circle Exhibition in Albuquerque, NM.

Her most thrilling recognition was being chosen for the cover of the IAPS Convention Program, and through the gossip grapevine, enjoyed tremendous popular appeal in that exhibit. (And by judge Albert Handell's own admission, was only three or four positions away from garnering an award, had the competing works been different, or had more awards been available.)

Well, the current PSA show will be her final stop on the competition circuit. But you can look back on more of this painting's history on her original blog post, where I show and tell about the thoughts behind the painting, and the progress of the painting's creation.
