"Perdido Key Sea Grass"

Just completed. I have been working on several large oil and pastels, but they are taking me forever! I decided to do a little landscape to have something to show for my time. I love the beach!

"Rocks in the Stream"

"Sunset at the Point"

I love doing sunsets, though trying to match the warm peach, blue violets and yellows of the sky can be quite a challenge. I never seem to have the exact color pastel. Maybe I need to buy some more! Can't have too many (unless you talk to my husband, that is.)

SOLD

We recently got home from a 2 week trip to China and I am now recovered from jet lag. I will be  recording scenes from our trip in oil and pastel. We toured 5 cities, Shanghai, Guilin, Zhouzhuang, Yangshou and Beijing. I have over 2000 photos to sort through. We covered a lot of territory and I didn't want to overlook anything that might be paintable. This was a trip of a lifetime. Lots more paintings to come.

Inspired by my fellow artists in China, I decided to try pen & ink with watercolor, which I haven't done  in a LOOONG time. Nice break from oils and pastels.
