#812 and 813, Trees Two Ways
A few years ago I created the top painting using soft pastels. It was intended as a practice picture. I decided to use the MadArt App to see what it would look like in pen and also watercolors. The result is the bottom two offerings.
#804, A Little Bit of Dali
A 16 x 24 inch little play on the works of Dali.
#803, Fishing By the Falls
A 16 x 24 inch soft pastel painting created on news print.
#802, Plowing the Field
A 16 x 24 inch soft pastel painting rendered on white sketch paper.
#798, The Sunset
As artists each time we put our butts in the chair it is all about the fun which is the true heart of art. That is to say picking up a paint brush or even the pastel should free the spirit not hinder or anchor it to perfection. I like to have fun when I draw or paint. The picture above is just me having a little fun with some soft pastels and having a liberty with a sunset. It is 18 x 24″ done on white drawing paper.

An earlier 14 x 24 inch soft pastel painting. This is a as of yet I finished work.
#792, The Lake View
An earlier work. A 16 x 24 inch soft pastel painting on white sketch paper.
#758 and 759, Two Dogs
