"Half falls", 9x12" pastel on board.

One more test on my home-made pastel grounds.

Not very impressed with this one (the ground) a bit too much of a grain

for my preference. But it still does the job.

Looking forward to work more on surface testing...
Someday i hope to come up with something I will really like.

"Tree Graces", pastel.

"Tree Graces", 6 x 6", Pastel.

My latest small pastel painting on self-prepared board. 

I'm remembering good old times in my chemical lab and playing with

own pastel grounds lately. I believe it is getting better.

This piece of board turned out to my total "like".

What I believe shows in my painting too.

Can not wait to jump to my next one!

"Touch of Gold", pastel.

"Touch of Gold", 11 x 14", pastel on Pastelbord.

Finished my painting from Longwood Gardens this night.

I believe place is called "Italian lake". Very beautiful place

with lot of to paint around. This time I was attracted

by ridge of bright Day-lilies, reflections of which in the lake

were as some kind of magic... That kind what I love to paint!..

This is my first painting both - started and finished in 2014.

I have somewhat slow start, but I like what I did this time.

Ready for next one!

Touch of Gold. Pastel, WIP.

I just started another pastel painting of another scene from Longwood Gardens.

When I saw it first I was memorized with those golden reflections and

knew immediately - I'm going to paint this place.

I still have some nice frames in 11 x 14" size and going to utilize one of those...

Therefore I had to start from appropriate size of board... I have white Pastelbord

in 11 x 14, but wanted to work on mid-value support. Therefore before I started

with my sketch, board was toned in sepia with fluid Acrylic.

For my sketch I used Carbotello pastel pencil.

When done with sketching part, I turned it into wash with alcohol.

Next step - application of dry pastel.

Another sectional wash over dry pastel with brush and water.

... and more of pastel!...

So far so good. Idea is - to finish this work sometime soon

and submit to the Gallery as part of "Garden Collection"

with two more freshly framed pieces.

when we having one more ice storm?...

3 days of watercolor with Larry.

Last 3 days I spent in Mechanicsburg Art Center playing with watercolors. 

This was a second time when I got to study with one of my all-time

favorite watercolor artists/teachers - Larry Lombardo.

Last time we saw each other about 3 years ago. It was great to see him again

refresh old stuff and learn a few new things what he recently came up with

(Larry did change his pallet and color mixing system somewhat,

compare to what I knew from before).

We had wonderful time and ended up with beautiful little paintings of this lovely young lady. 

Larry will be teaching another class in January 2014.

Everybody who is interested hurry up to jump in!

As for me... I may conceder painting something in watercolor over this winter,

just need to get those new Larry's secret colors and I'll be good to go!
