Bosco

"Bosco" (16x12 conte and pastel pencil) sold

One of my clients' orders this Christmas Season. Usually I ignore backgrounds, but this was a new fence just built by Bosco's human, and it had special significance. The wood texture was actually quite fun!

Glimmer

"Glimmer" (pastel, 12x12 inches)

My first painting of 2018! (sort of...) This was a demo during my workshop with the Central Texas Pastel Society in early December. I just tweaked it a tiny bit so I could post it today.

I found out last month that I will be in three excellent art festivals next spring (Bayou City Art Fest in Memorial Park Houston, Woodlands Waterway Arts Fest near Houston, and [finally!] Main Street Fort Worth Arts Festival) so I've got to start filling out my inventory now!

Here are some progress shots of Glimmer:

Thanks for watching! Please share!

Sol

"Sol" (pastel, 12x12 inches) sold

I had a couple of clients who wanted "Soleil" pretty much at the same time, so I sold that one to the first client and painted this one (flipped the reference) for the new client. It's kinda nice when my work is in demand!
