marshy lands

I worked on this but it's not quit finished. I just enjoy working on some bigger pastels. Although I think they are a little harder to frame and I never hear about all the shows everyone else hears about anyway. I don't know how they do it.

steelman's study

although I enjoy pastels I don't like that it comes off. I like the immediate colors but the lack of permanence bothers me. I enjoy trees but I think I should start doing other subjects. -Maybe. I guess it's a never ending process. I really wish I could find a person to go out and paint with. It seems like everyone finds a buddy to paint with. Oh well. Just keep painting.

oil

I decided to do some oils. I go back and forth. Getting more loose would be nice tho. It doesn't matter . i don't have a crowd of spectators expecting me to do great things so i can continue to experiment. ha ha ha

choose a path

Well by now U know I'm not with the in crowd. Someday maybe. It's nice to have a painting partner I guess that helps one get out. Oh well. I worked on this pastel but it didn't photograph well at all. I would like to have more subdued work as well . I need to get some grays and work on compliments.

watershed

I decided to try and work less details and work in shapes and colors and I enjoyed it. it lead to more imagination and less confining.
