Untitled

I find the most difficult part of painting is actually coming up with a title. Sometimes the finished product inspires the title instantly. Other times, like now... I'm at a loss. So for now, we will simply call this Untitled.

Sunflowers

This coming Saturday, I will be in the Flint Art Fair. I wanted to create a new piece just for this show, and while wandering around in Wet Canvas I ran across this image for inspiration.

New Season

It's a new season - and I'm not talking about Spring. This is a new season of my life. It's been rough going for the last few years. But now - I am renewed. This is my new season.

I just moved recently and haven't painted anything for months. Today though - I felt a new energy inside me and so I dug around through a file folder I keep of beautiful pictures and pieces of art that give me inspiration. I was stopped by a painting that I had saved from another artist. It was this painting that motivated me to get out my pastels and play in the dust.

This is my interpretation of Kit Mahoney's painting. No - it's not for sale. (sorry)

I call this one "New Season"

Gentle Wakening

As I gaze into this painting, I see the morning light easing it's way through the trees and gently waking the forest.

Flower Study

I still don't think I have any particular style. It's still only been a month though since I picked up my first pastel. I study the paintings done by other artists, and am truly inspired by the work they create. This painting is my first attempt at trying a more impressionistic style. I was quite pleased, and although loved it as it was, I cut it in half and mounted each into it's own frame. Popped it up on ebay and it (they) sold! You have no idea how that made me feel....
