Each of these bright fellows are painted with pastel on 6"x6" gatorboard with an orange, yellow and gold acrylic underpainting followed up with clear Golden pastel ground.<br />
<br />
They're framed in a nice wide gold plein aire frame - with all three in one frame.<br />
<br />
I'm working on some more pieces, so c'mon down and check out the show.<br />
<br />
Reception is July 3rd from 2-4pm. 2nd reception is August 7th from 2-4pm. Last day of the show is August 28th. <br />
<br />
The July 3rd reception coincides with a Pittsboro Street Fair, so you're sure to have a fun day in downtown Pittsboro when you visit.<br />
<br />
Hope to meet you there!<br />

I'm proud to announce that not only has "Thundering Hoofs" juried into the 2016 NC Statewide Pastel Competition, but that it has won the Art Spectrum Award!<br />

<br />
This pastel is 16"x20" and can be viewed at the Hickory Museum of Art in Hickory, NC.<br />
<br />
Worked from a photo taken at Belmont Racetrack in Long Island, NY, I was challenged to create the feeling of action with dirt flying from their hoofs and the dramatic colors of the jockeys clothing.<br />
<br />
It was great fun to create and I'm so honored to have been juried in with over 250 entries and only 17 selected for awards.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy my pastel paintings!<br />

Unlike most of my work, this little fella is only 5 1/2" x 7 1/2", with a terracotta underpainting. I submitted him to the 7th Cary Gallery of Artist's "Small Treasures" Juried Exhibition and got in!<br />
<br />
Reception is Friday, March 25th from 6-9pm at the Cary Gallery of Artists, 200 South Academy Street, Cary, NC. Show runs through April 23rd. Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday 11- 5:30pm, and final Fridays 11-9 pm.<br />
<br />
Would love to see you at the reception!<br />

So much fun painting him!<br />
<br />
Watching this man skillfully entertain the crowd while juggling fire was enthralling, to say the least!<br />
The flames were lighting his already red face and created quite a theatrical effect.<br />

I love capturing movement, and it's the first time I ever painted fire. Exciting! Loved the pattern on his vest, the hat, and the great compositional effect of the three moving torches. On U-Art board, 320 grit, with an orange under painting to bring up the heat and make the blue vibrate. Made rough strokes to capture the texture of the background.</div>

<br />
While walking my bichon frise Summer one morning, my neighbor stopped to show me a photo of a rabbit that we believe has been eating our flowers. It hasn't been proven in court yet, but the evidence is stacking up.<br />
<br />
She got a good close-up as he was right outside her window. When I asked to paint him, she generously sent me her photo. After cropping in and playing with color I came up with "Woodland Bunny".<br />
<br />

He's painted on gatorboard treated with an Art Spectrum Terracotta pastel surface. I love the way the color pops when you use cools on a warm surface. He's a charming little rascal. People on facebook have asked for cards or prints. I'll be making some cards soon.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #515151; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had just moved into my new home in Chatham County, and was amazed and totally captivated by these astoundingly beautiful and graceful wild beings that appeared outside my windows. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515151; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This "teenaged" fawn was outside my office when I took her photo. The blue asphalt of the street behind her was changed into water and I found myself softening the edges around her unconsciously creating a halo effect.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515151; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was different from anything I had painted before, as I usually paint quite realistically. I decided to leave it looking a bit ethereal, I liked the effect.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515151; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first person to see her during the Chatham Studio Tour that year bought her. I was actually kinda sad to see her go. This, of course, lead to more deer paintings.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #515151; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So exciting to be included in this on-line magazine!</span></div>

I'm receiving my award (which I redeemed today for a 18 pastel set of Unison Brown Earth pastels!)<br />
<br />

I show up at about 6 minutes 23 seconds for about 30 seconds. Probably no one but my brother will look at this, but it made my day!<br />
<br />
Got to get into the kitchen and make dinner!<br />
<br />
Thanks for following me!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">For those that already know the basics of pastel </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">my <a href="http://www.artscenterlive.org/classes/2043-continuing-pastel-painting-studio/" target="_blank">"Continuing Pastel Painting Studio Class #2037"</a> begins at the ArtsCenter of Carrboro
Thursdays April 30th and runs til May 28th from 10am-12:30 in my regular

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This course is for the intermediate to
advanced pastel student who wants critiques as they work on their own subject
matter. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Elements and principles of design
are </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">kept in mind as the students learn to
apply compositional rules to their work for maximum results. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Classes start with group critiques
</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">and discussions with the rest of the class
time working with individual help through class. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Time working outside class speeds
results.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Basic understanding of pastels or Intro to
Pastel Painting is required. Not for beginners. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Bring your pastels and photos you're working
with to </span>class and we'll brainstorm a composition together to create your
vision.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While visiting my frame shop on Halloween, I snapped a photo of one of the costumed employees and finally got around to painting her pastel portrait. I decided to use my new favorite surface, suede mat board, but this one was a dark gray...much harder (I found out) to make light creamy skin tones on! </span></span><br />

Ramsay's "Mom" had me paint him from one of his "Dad's" photos....Dad is studying photography and provided me with an wonderful shot here that helped me capture his spirit so well. <br />

This artwork is painted on archival suede matboard, a newer pastel substrate for me that works wonderfully to capture the softness of fur while still maintaining vibrant color. </div>

A variety of pastels are used here...mostly Terry Ludwigs, but also some Rebrandts and New Pastels. A joy to paint!</div>

Painted on the other half of the Salmon Sennelier La Carte pastel paper using many of the same pastels as the previous "Swans" painting. Hoping to have them both framed and ready for the Chatham Artists Studio Tour that I'm in on Saturday & Sunday, this December 6th & 7th from 10am-5pm.<br />

I love that park and used to walk a path around a large man-made pond, about a mile and a half long. Finally had a free moment to paint something for me instead of a commission (not that I'm complaining!) The result is this piece....which I'll call Swans for lack of something better...<br />

This is painted on La Carte pastel paper...a paper I seldom use, but am finding I really enjoy. You cannot underpaint on La Carte, but it comes in some really lovely colors. I pushed the color on this one...something I find myself doing more and more. I wanted to create that luminous light that glows....to make the swans almost magical.</div>

I plan to do another piece featuring one swan alone. This may wind up being in a local show, as many are coming up this holiday season.</div>
