"English Garden", Silk Painting.

"English Garden", 11 x 11"

Dupont silk dyes on Habotai 8 mm silk.

Happy to share my first silk work done with those famous French dies...

I hear a lot about those basically main things was -

not to be compared to anything else...

Guess what?.. That is right! Love that stuff! Totally amazing possibilities.

Need to mention, being a primary pastel artist, I'm lazy when it comes 

to color mixing... However I only bough a primary pallet of French dyes

to try those out... So it was whole brand-new experience for me.

Yes, it CAN BE done only with 3 colors, however I would add black to it.

Little reminder:

I'll be instructing silk painting class at

Mechanicsburg Art Center and Gallery.

You still have some time to sign up!

"Orchids in Ruby Glass II"

11 x 11" Pastel on PastelMat

Last evening I called this painting finished. Very happy I did it,

because otherwise like all my unfinished work it would finish

in my big and bold trash can. That simple.

I guess now I better pull out another unfinished project

and work on that one till it is done... I have a few of those

sitting around waiting... hopefully for something good to happen.

"Orchids in Ruby Glass -II" Pastel.

Back to finishing this project I started at spring of 2011.

Good thing about pastels - You can put them away and then pull it out,

as You was working on it yesterday. I was not ready to finish it last year,

but now after the long brake I feel I can do it. So... stay tuned, I'm

going to post more as it progresses.

Progress on those lilies.... Oil Pastel, WIP.

Today I rearranged few things in this painting (some of foliage)

and I think I like it better now.

Look like I pulled it all together to my total like and now just need

 to take some more time and finalize everything. 

I even tried it with new frame I had in mind or this painting.

I custom ordered this one two years ago for my other floral work

 and it turned into a brilliant communication failure between painting and frame...

And so much for talking... Just need to go and finish it.

Something about those lilies...

 I wanted to do a painting of white lilies for a while... but always something was getting on my way -not the right lilies, not sure how I want to paint them, not sure, not sure...

Finally this spring Irina discovered in our garden this beauty in full its glory.

I went out with camera and soon  I had my reference and my inspiration.

It is going to be one more floral Oil pastel on Pastelbord, mean wile I just finished under-painting

in Gouache and watercolor. I'm happy with what I see here and ready to start rendering in Oil Pastels.

"Looking at You." Floral Pastel painting.

"Looking at You"
8 x 10"
Pastel on La Carte.


My latest floral painting. This time - in pastel. I tried something new here (again!)
and mounted piece of La Carte to Italian-made panel for oil painting. 
those panels have great absorption and glue quickly
without creating any problems with my paper.
I'm planning to frame this one just like I do with my other works on board - 
without mats. Overall it was very successful experience.
Next time I will try to mount bigger piece.
