Pastels #25 & #26


Another one for the September Pastel Strokes at WetCanvas.

8"x10", Flannel Gray Canson Mi-Tientes.


This one was for the October Landscape Challenge at WetCanvas.

8"x10", Flannel Gray Canson Mi-Tientes.

Not happy with either one, so I will count them as more practice with pastels.

Pastel #24


Done for the September Landscape Challenge at WetCanvas. I thought it would be good practice for clouds, but pastel soup ensued.

Pastel #22


Always a glutton for punishment, I have done another Pastel Strokes Challenge from Wetcanvas. We were given a selection of black-and-white photos from which to choose. The color choices are mine. Next time I will choose something with less detail.

8"x10", Canson Mi-Tientes.

Oil Painting #16


This is for the August Landscape Challenge at WetCanvas.

My first instinct when there is a lot of green is to panic first then to mix up a green and use it everywhere there is green. Anything beyond that is progress for me. Guess I could work on branches too.

Another Landscape Challenge from WetCanvas. This one was for July, but I did not get around to it until the first of August.
