Title: Coast Sentinels
Pastel
Size: approx 10-1/2 X 13-1/2
I thought I’d make the work of getting pastels completed and ready for hanging on Thursday by including some process shots of the last one. I think it’s been awhile since I’ve done this. Anyway, as you can see, this is a scene of Eucalyptus trees on a cliff overlooking the pacific. This is not an uncommon site in Southern California, believe me. Once people started planting the Eucalyptus, they just couldn’t stop. Like the also prevalent Palm Tree, the Eucalyptus is not native to the area, but you would never know it. I think they actually fit the landscape here even better than the Palms, but that’s just my opinion.
Title: Texas Spring
Pasel
Size: 9 X 12
Just as the hills around Southern California are blanketed with carpets of poppies and Purple Lupine in the spring, so Texas is blessed with meadows of Blue Bonnets.
I may not get all the new pastels up on Thursday (I have plenty framed and ready from the Spring Art Show!), but if not, I will go in and exchange them when they are done. I’m trying hard to meet the deadline of mid-day on Thursday, but I’d rather be happy with the paintings than put them up before they are ready. I’ll be in this location for two months, so …who knows? I may even exchange some more.
Please enjoy and remember that comments are always welcome.
