Reds And Violets

This pastel painting was fun to do, because it allowed me to work with a wide range of beautiful pastel grays. The painting is framed in a lovely off white frame. It’s a nice fit for any color of wall. The internet shows the dark area at the bottom of this painting to be darker than it actually is, but the rest of the colors and values are fine.

Lilac bushes are so beautiful and very fragrant as well. They are one of my favorite flowers. I painted this picture at a workshop that I gave in Elko, Nevada .

I have always been delighted with the beauty of sunsets and Alaska has some great ones.

Fruits of Love

When I saw my model ease into this pose so naturally, I knew it was special. The pose, the warm colors, the emotion; it was all there. Beautiful!

Alaska is a beautiful state when the sun shines. I like sunshine.

This mountain man image was produced, not with pastel, but with one stick of red cont’e and graphite. For the lighter values I left more of the white paper show through.
