I’m all about light and shadow. Its always what attracts me to a plein air subject, even when I’m just hangin out at the pool. I did this watercolor painting of a fenced walkway specifically because I liked the way the sunlight and shadows played on the pillars. I also love architectural and sculptural elements so the little pineapples on the tops of the pillars were and added bonus!

I’m working on some large portraits right now so I thought I would post another pastel landscape that I painted right after the big storm last year. This is a scene from our back yard. I love how, on bright, sunny winter days, the warm light throws golden highlights against the deep blue shadows

Please contact me if you are interested in this artwork.

I walk by this field almost every night with my Aussie, Roxy, and never thought anything of it. Then one afternoon last week the sun was low and the light coming though the fence looked fantastic. I ran back home and got my pastels and Roxy and I spent a great hour painting together.

Sun filtering through trees in Gallup Park

Pastel painting 4.75 inches x 7 inches $100 + shipping

Please contact me if you are interested in this artwork.

When I saw the sun filtering through the trees at our local park, it really called to me. It was mid morning and the sunlight created wild colors and patterns that were just perfect for pastel. Trees and forest are some of my favorite subjects that I come back to time and again.
