Turquoise water isn't exactly found where I live, so it was great fun to paint it. This pastel painting is 16" x 20" and is done on textured gator board. You can find it at Andre Christine Gallery in Mooresville, NC.

The Face of Fall
I've done a study to work out ideas for a possible larger painting. What do you see here?
My Darling Clementine...
...okay, very cliche. This is a small 8 x 10 pastel on Wallis paper. I have found still life work to be challenging as the depth of field is so small. Values need to be studied as the background is really only inches away, compared to possibly miles away in a landscape painting. Comments, anyone?
Egg 1, Egg 2
We see eggs here, but these paintings are essentially about shapes, a wide value range and and narrow color range. Trying to paint white is a wonderful exercise in seeing color

New Pastel Painting
A long weekend in June in the NC mountains was the starting place for this painting. The weather was nothing like the finished artwork. In the photo it is a gray day with very flat light. I decided to make it a much nicer day. You can do that as an artist on your painting surface...or anyone can do it in their own mind!

A Very Still Life
"Juicy" is a zoomed in still life of cherries and a kiwi. It is 18" x 18" on Wallis paper and is sold. However I see more of this in my future...
