This one is Day #11 of the 30/30 Challenge.

Soft pastel on 6 x 6 inch Rives BFK. 

Love the textures and how the 

river leads you into the distance. 

"Native Dancer"

SOLD

Soft pastel on 6 x 6 inch Rives BFK

This one was such a joy to paint for some reason -

maybe the colors, which I love.

It reminds me of the feathers and bells

fastened around the ankles of Native American dancers.

I thought the titles were going to be a big problem,

but in most cases they come to me out of the blue

as I finish a work.

Day #7 of the 30/30 Challenge - ink, pastel ground, soft

pastel on 6 x 6 inch Rives BFK.

Love how the red under-painting adds texture. 

I'm really enjoying this exercise in abstraction,

though they don't always work out as 

well as this one.

Day #6 of the 30/30 Challenge - inks, pastel ground, 

soft pastel on 6 x 6 inch Rives BFK.

You'll notice I've skipped a couple of days - that's because I only feel 

I've been successful about 50% of the time.

The red flecks peek coyly out from the 

green - naming it was easy!

Day #3 of the 30/30 Challenge - inks, pastel ground and soft pastel on 

6 x 6 inch Rives BFK.

This one just came together for me - so easy! Wish they 

could all do that. The shape has a protected feel, 

thus the title.

Day #1 - 6 x 6 inch pastel on Rives BFK. 

I've decided to do abstracts for this challenge, a genre I have absolutely no 

experience with, so we'll see what happens. The diagonal lines 

show great energy and made me think of

 a motorcycle's roar.
