 Post 10 Rainbows signify hope and that's precisely what we need right now. The world has changed. In the end, we will mourn what has been lost and those who have been lost. We have also gained perspective as a whole about who and what should be important in our lives and that change is possible. I just hope these lessons aren't lost as normalcy returns. I have hope, they won't. Rainbow Illusion
 Acrylic on Panel | 6” x 8” You can see it, but not touch. Purity of color. A hidden door opened and reality revealed, but Is it real? Seek it and get no closer. Science and dreams. Logic and emotion collide when chasing rainbows.

My mom and I spent a few days in Galveston back in September. We'd get up at 4:30 am then walk to get breakfast, and most importantly, a cup of coffee, before sitting on the beach to watch the Sunrise. I took this photo before the Sun came peeking out above the clouds. I think this was our last day there, and I just had to take a picture of this row of palms that we walked past every day.  I used both a brush and palette knife for this painting.

Do you ever look up at the sky and just stop to let your imagination create a story? Most likely your answer is yes. The inspiration for this painting, “Then The Clouds Rolled In” started with me pulling over to the side of the road and gathering photos with my phone. ( I wished I had my sketch book with me to at least note the wild variations of colors but I did try to recreate them in the painting.) I stayed there staring at the sky after I put my phone down and actually took the time to just enjoy and take in the incredible beauty before me. The trees in the distance were standing tall but fighting for importance as the clouds moved and colors shifted. The longer I stared the more the scene unfolded with rich symbolism and pieces of my personal history and of mankind began to weave a story. Do you still take time in your busy day to stop and look at the sky? Does this scene jog a memory of yours? Seems like whatever I imagined or was reminded of was an event of extreme signif...

I just finished this pastel.. The surface is the all cotton sanded Pastel Premier paper.. I am liking this surface a lot especially for my landscapes. The scene is mostly for memory, and is very near Johnson City on the way to Fredericksburg here in Texas. I pass it a lot in the car, never stopping to take a photo, but it always gets my attention on the highway. That zig zag line again, can't resist! The colors are very embellished to suit my mood, and I am sure with the end of summer, the river is nowhere near as full as this is, but I am an artist, what can I say?

Another of these different shaped formats, I love to challenge myself with something out of the norm. This pastel is all about the sky as was the last one I posted, and completely made up (again), as with the last post.                                           The substrate is Sennelier sanded paper.                                                 Image size is 5.25" x 12" unframed                            ...

I felt like a change and decided on a coastal scene this time. I wanted a dramatic sky and bold colors. I had a different shaped piece of Colorfix mauve paper, and thought, why not?                                             This image is 6.5" x 19.5" unframed.                                                            $200 plus S/H                         This image...

Just a small pastel on Sennelier sanded paper. I was warming up for a larger piece yesterday, and  decided to get the pastel dust flying on this little guy first.                                             This image is 3.75" x 8" unframed.                                                                $65 plus S/H                        ...

6 x 6 Oil on Panel For purchase information click HERE. This is another painting done with the palette knife.  Loved painting the sky with those lovely warm and cool clouds.  

I guess I felt a need for a completely different genre, so here goes nothing. This is a scene from my walks on Sugar Beach Maui. It's a long beach and great to stretch my legs. I just love to watch the waves, and the way the light plays on the top of the crests. A seascape needs to be studied at length before painting it, after all, it's never still for us, and photos simply don't do it justice. They flatten the light and dull down the colors. Having said that, this is a composite from my photos, and a lot is from memory, an impression, that's what I was aiming for. I hope you like it.                                                   This image is 9" x 25" unfarmed.           ...

"October Sunset" Pastel on uart sanded paper 5x7 inches   Almost missed this gorgeous sunset, just caught a glimpse through the trees and quickly found a spot to pull off the road and get some photos.

Call me a romantic, but don't you just love to watch the clouds form especially with an approaching storm? Well I do.. :)) I had no reference with this one, I just 'felt' the clouds and the movement.  Pastels are such a great medium to portray seascapes and skyscapes. One can 'sculpt' the shapes so seductively, it's as though the artist can become one with the image. See I told you I was a romantic..
