One in the Hand

Jayne, Karen, and I got
together for a Sunday
afternoon painting session

she paints them so beautifully!

Study in Orange and Yellow Number 2

Original Pastel
4" X12"

This was a fun piece to
paint since it was totally
freeing to paint the background with a wash and let
the colors run and drip at will, then when it was dry,
use your imagination to create a scene!

Study in Orange and Yellow Number One

Original Pastel
8"x8"
Experimenting with different
techniques is always fun. This is
done on gatorboard, painted with
a very wet acrylic wash that ran
freely on the board. After it dryed
the board was coated with clear
pumice gel and it was time to begin
the painting!

WHERE THE BUFFALOS ROAMED

Original Pastel
Wallis Paper 12"X6"

hours looking at the

"cloud game". I am
still fascinated by the
formation and the
images formed by
the clouds!
