My most recent.... Another pastel on suede. I have a bunch of velour (and a few new sand papers to try!) that is being mounted and I was not patient enough to wait on it. This one however, does not have a lot of dark colors, so it was fine to do on the velour. I did have a lot of fun with the clover in the foreground! I probably spent way too much time on it! I really like the way Alice is sitting in the middle of it! I could have done her vertically and zoomed in on her... but I like it this way better!

I just noticed this lily this morning... it is practically perfect. I managed to get this shot before it started to fade in the sun. Love the pink against the bright yellow center!

This is a pastel of a military service dog that I was commissioned to do as a gift for the dog's person. Rolf is retired and living in the states with a friend of the soldier while he is back overseas. He is due back this month and they are celebrating Christmas in June.
My client is also including Rolf in a portrait she has commissioned me to do of all her dogs... past and present. It is going to be a long skinny one. I am doing a horse one like it also. They should be very fun to do.... The dog one has 6 dogs and one cat in it. and the horse one has 6 horses in it. I will be starting the horse one sometime this summer.
