My Pastel Paintings

I started this blog to chart my progress as I learn to paint.  I drew and painted quite a bit as a teenager, but put it aside for a long, long time.  The paintings directly below are done in soft pastel on canson mi-tientes paper. 


This is from the Cradle Creek Preserve in Jacksonville, on the intracoastal waterway.

This is the beginning of Hurricane Sandy over Jacksonville Beach!

I hope to post new works at least several times a month. 

The  painting below is 8 x 10 on sanded mat board.  It was done around the holidays and I put it aside for a bit.  I do that sometimes, then go back and take another look to see what needs to be fixed or changed.  In this case, I think I will leave it be.
