Provence Blue.

"Provence Blue", 11 x 14", Oil.

I'm finally getting back to those my French studies I did last summer.

This one is an oil painting of small village

and lavender farm in the Lot Valley.

Very unique for that area of country, as most of lavender plantations

are very commercial nowadays and in this mountain region

You will not see any of it.

This is a small family of two operated business with all charm of Old World,

almost like step back in time.

I painted several paintings from that area and

most of it was sold few days after it was painted...

So here is one more for You. Enjoy!

Poetry in Purple. Pastel.

"Poetry in Purple"

12x9" Pastel on U-art.

Look like I'm finally getting back to my painting...

This is another brand-new piece I did this night.

Pastel on U-art 400 sanded paper.

This was painted from memory of beautiful meadows

what I got to see in Massachusetts few years ago. 

Green grass and purple overlay of flowers...

I painted it before, but never getting tired f this scene.

Waiting for the Rain, Pastel.

Waiting for the rain,

12x16", Pastel on paper.

This piece was a test for new paper, some of my students brought to me to try.

I did ask how it was called, but lady wasn't sure and I never saw this one before.

 I decided to give it a test without mounting it to the board. I sort of do like it,

 but not totally sure for just one try. I have another piece 

and hope to play with that one sometime soon.

this is another painting f farm fields just behind of my Best Friend's farm,

few miles away from home.

Available on Etsy.

Much more work to do and I enjoy this work.

Fall at New England... with some pastels!

Untitled 6 x 9" location sketch.

Pastels on Wallis paper.

We with my friend Claire Barnwell just returned from our trip to CT,

 where we were painting and enjoying beauty of New England's Fall.

I ended up with only 4 paintings this time, but brought

much reference materials to play with.

We were blessed with wonderful weather,

met some of my old friends, and I was happy to introduce m

my friend to my favorite Pastel-Guru, Richard McKinley.

We had wonderful time, many adventures and

some repeated misfortunes with our car...

What didn't prevent us from painting.

I will be posting more photos with the time, as I get to it.

"Drama Queen", Pastel.

"Drama Queen", 12 x 12", Pastel on Wallis.

This is my latest pastel piece painted on no more available Wallis Belgium Mist

sanded paper. I still have few pieces of it, love it, but no reason to keep it precious...

When it all will be gone I'll switch to UART and see what happens.

After all, sanded paper is and only sanded paper...

this is a portrait of one of our Garden Lillies. I'm not sure what kind she is.

We got this single bulb on Lilitopia show at Longwood gardens.

 I didn't know they will have anything for sale and only had few bucks of cash on my pocket..

So we ended up with this beauty with no name. Beautiful, dramatic, especially in the dark.

I'm glad I finally got a chance to paint her... Love my lilies!

"Waterway with Lilies", pastel.

"Waterway with Lilies",

12 x 12", Pastel on Pastelbord.

Sometimes, when revisiting one of those old favorite paintings, 

I starting to think :"What if..."

What if I would have done this different, or that different,

 soften that edge, play contrast here or there...

Well, good news, when I'm looking at one of my PASTEL paintings,

it all is still possible.

"Paintings are never finished, just abandoned..."

I think it perfect description of pastel paintings. 

One can always go back... if only one has a desire!...

With this in mind I spent my evening playing with this piece.

It is a risky game sometime, but today it just worked out for me.

So here is a new version of 'Waterways".

I like it. I hope You do too.

Creek study, Pastel.

Another study of my beloved Cove Creek,

two miles or so down on a road from where we live...

This one was done on U-art 400 with some underpainting.

I used my Plein Air set of pastels to do this painting.

something I do off and on in studio setting

to stay comfortable with lesser color choices.

This painting is currently offered at DPW auction.

"Koi Play", Crepe de Chine.

Another finished silk piece, this one is Crepe De Chine,

 very different "canvas" to work on... but it was fun.
