| | | My therapy is pastel paintings -- portraits (people and pets), landscapes, Blue Ridge scenery mostly from Floyd and Franklin County, Virginia areas and south on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
A few years ago I would have said I was a pencil artist, but now, now.....I may say that I am a novice pastelist! I've finally ventured into the painting arena - first it was acrylics (I've always done things the hard way) -- but now -- pastels. I used pastels (I called them 'chalk' back then) years ago and loved them -- however I really knew nothing about them. I revisited this medium about 3 years ago and fell in love with them. The learning curve was challenging but through books, videos, and online art groups guiding me I have managed to become very comfortable with pastels. I work from reference photos, and am enjoying the thrill of creating landscapes of areas I love.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my work. My latest is "Sisters": | | |
