Foggy Crossroad


Blues & blue-violets. I love the foggy, kind of smeared, look of this one.

Which Way?


Blue and green are, perhaps, my favorite colors (it sort of depends on the day
 of the week and the phase of the moon). This one was fun to do. 
I'm beginning to really love abstracts.

"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.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge


"Flirting"

SOLD

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!

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge


"Vroom!"


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.
