hard pastels

#475 Orange Slice

| Whitt’s End Art

#475 is a hard pastel painting rendered on a 6×9 piece of Strathmore sketch paper. The orange piece is sitting on a pink saucer. I have taken a turn in my art. I am leaning more towards the abstract than realism well except for my portraits which can be found on tbwhitt.wordpress.com.

I think in life I have also taken a turn. As you age life through your eyes looks different. Some get a little scared and fill life with realism, I.E. toys of all kinds. Me, I see the last decades of mart life in a different way. I see these years as a time of greater faith and greater service which to the world is a little abstract. A far cry from the self service world live. So I leave it up to Whom you will serve, yourself or God.

#470 Big Rabbit-Little Girl

| Whitt’s End Art

As little children some things seem bigger than they really are. Like that first let rabbit which at the time seemed so huge. My painting is an homage to,those days of huge vision. The painting is done in pastel and color pencil on a piece of 6×9 drawing paper. In our lives there are many problems which seem huge to us but when viewed through the eyes of God they are reduced to smaller problems.
