Critters & Creature show at the Coast Collective Aug 5 - Aug 22.
Discovering Mark Leach's work is what inspired me try pastels again.
in the library and now plan to curl up and thoroughly enjoy my evening.
A little respite from oils, I found some old pastels and began to play with colour.
Still experimenting with oils, I used a palette knife to create texture in this painting, it has a different look because it's painted on board instead of canvas. I find the surfaces I paint on have a definite say on the outcome of my work.
I went and splurged on oil paints yesterday and did a quick study of my son playing with my daughter's dog "Brutis"
This is the time of year when things get busy and my mind is distracted with things other than art.
I always love a good art book for Christmas, this lovely book was waiting for me when I got home from work today. Alfred Currier
in the spirit of Thanksgiving was offering his book on his blog. I was fortunate enough to receive one.
This is the second painting that I entered in the Peace & Conflict show at the Coast Collective. It is my interpretation of one of the statues (Castor or Pollux I'm not sure which) in the Piazza del Campidoglio on Capitoline Hill in Rome.
