Most recent oil painting, set up a still life, needed to change flowers for better design and changed colors, next time will be more careful about arranging the flowers. And do a sketch before I dive into a large painting with major changes that had to be made when it was almost complete.

Violets on Silver Tray-Pastel on sanded paper

Set up a still life this week and enjoyed using the wild violets while they are in bloom. Now hanging at Richardson Public Library for the RCAS Spring Art Show

What is getting framed this week

What’s on my Easel

Had so much fun working with the Zinna pastel I did this Iris pastel to match the other one since I had bought two frames alike at Marshall’s. This one was done on a sanded paper and not nearly as nice to work with as the Kitty Wallis paper, did not have the ability to create as may layers at Wallis does. Clogged up after a few colors. But was much cheaper….

What’s been on my Easel this week

Recently I have been working with Pastels, doing small studies of flowers. I found some very nice frames with mats at Marshall’s that worked great for framing these small drawings I did recently. They add a bright spot to a little corner of a room.
