All systems go! I have everything I require to restart my painting practice after the holiday hiatus. My favorite colors, my favorite brushes, and a beautifully blank canvas that speaks of nothing but potential!
Good to be back! More soon. Count on it.

I’m framing pastel sketches. These are about six by six inches. Colorful statements in miniature.
Honestly, I can’t get wonderfully spontaneous interactions of color like this when I’m working in oil. And the beautifully loose and dynamic effect is almost effortless in pastel. It’s not for lack of practice! I do have some experience with oil. I got my ten thousand hours in about a half century ago! Here’s what I know, (profound insight on the way) a stick makes a different kind of mark than a brush.

What a creative bunch I call family! Take a look at these three beautiful objets d’art, and one painting.
Or maybe I should say, in deference to all you wordsmiths out there, TWO objets d’art, one painting, and one piece of jewelry. I’m getting very literal here, aren’t I. Regardless of nomenclature, check out this very cool stuff made by our daughters Carly, Rachel, and Sarsten!
