My most recent post comes after the opening of the FCPS Member Exhibit, where I was honored by Carrie Raeburn with a Merit Award for Autumn Study!  I was surprised and almost speechless, as this was my first show.  It is a tremendous honor and validation that I should continue along this path!  Both pieces are done on paper, Autumn Study on Canson Mi-tientes and Evening Watch over a monoprint on Rives BFK.

Can you tell by this ear to ear grin how absolutely delighted I am?

These two paintings were accepted into the First Coast Pastel Society Member Exhibit which runs from May 23rd to June 26th, 2014. 

Autumn Study

and Evening Watch, which is pastel over a watercolor monotype on Rives BFK.

This painting is 8x10 and is also a study in value contrasts...called Bright Path.

I have been painting, but not posting lately, so let me work up to the newest....
This is a painting I did on LaCarte pastel paper.  I was playing with values vs. color  and I'm  very happy at the finished result!
