Pastel on 9x12 Wallis The reference wasn't very colorful so added more color to give it added interest.

Pastel on Suede Mat Board 8X10

Old Mexican Lady

I have been very bad about keeping my blog up to date. Been very busy refurbishing a townhouse I own but that is not really a good excuse. I have also been experimenting with different types of painting materials. Landscapes are my downfall...maybe I really don't like doing landscapes at all no matter what type of paint I use. I enjoy painting animals and people the most. Pastel 9X12

Hawaiian Sunset

I'm getting very tired of winter and ready for warm, sunny, balmy days on the beach!

Mallard Duck

Loved this photo from WC Library so had to paint it. Done in watercolor.

Portrait...Prospier

Haven't posted lately...been working on portraits every opportunity I get. Trying to learn how to get good lifelike portraits so I have been practicing. This is the most recent I just finished for WC's WDE.

Flower

Flowers are not really my thing but I painted this today in watercolor and decided to post it.

The Dance

Another painting and post in one day...This is another scratchboard painting of Blue Herons. I am enjoying this scratchboard art.

Tiger Cub on Scratchboard

I love the reference photo of this tiger cub that I got from the WC Reference Library. I tried it several times in watercolor like the last one posted. This time I decided to try it on scratchboard. This is my first try using scratchboard. I like the black background...makes the tiger stand out.

Tiger Cub

I haven't posted here in a long time. I have been interested in painting animals lately. Trying different mediums but seem to go back to watercolor quite often. I just painted this tiger cub. I love animals of all kinds.

Blue Heron

Wildlife is among my many interests. Blue Herons though a pretty bird with their coloring and top knot can also be a nuisance if you have a ornamental fish pond. They would rather eat these containerized colorful fish than try to catch fish in the wild it seems. This is a Blue Heron in his natural habitat in pastel.
