Cattails 3

Pastel 9x12 on UArt

The cattails on the retention pond stand in sharp contrast to the short grass.  I have done this composition before in other sizes, but I used it again for my demo at Georgia Nick Gallery.

Splash of Sunlight

Pastel, 8x8, Plein air

This is a small, plein air expression done as part of a First Coast Pastel Society paint out.  These fall petunias were on a bench in a covered display.  The sunlight fell in patches and streaks on the purple and green.

Reaching

Pastel, 16x16

In the early morning, the rising clouds seem to reach across the sky stretching toward the rising sun.  The stillness and seamless reflections at low tide dramatize the broken, ragged clouds.

Daybreak

Pastel 20x24 on UArt

The showers of the night are passing and the dark clouds begin to scatter.  Just before the sun breaches the horizon, the clouds cast their soft colors in glorious reflections on the broad, wet sand.

Observer

Pastel 6x9

This cardinal comes to out feeder frequently with his made.  While she eats, he seems to be always watching.

Dune Morning

Pastel, 12x16

This old path between the dunes leading to the beach has always inspired me.  The softness of the warm sand, the gentle green of the shrubs and sea oats, the beach all to yourself, and endless horizon over the water - what more would you want?

Dunes Series

Dunes 1 - 4x6 Pastel

This is the first of a series of dune and beach approaches.  In this painting, my goal was to create a sense of late afternoon light and shadow with the stiff sea breeze moving across the dunes.

Dunes 2 - 4x6 Pastel

December is a good time to see the sunrise at the beach.  The light is spectacular, the colors are warm, and the air is crisp.
