A PREVIEW OF BALBOA FACADE

SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR
Even though it has been a few days since posting, I have been busy painting away. (Ah-ha - caught me! Guess I haven't been tripping over my feet continually, huh?)

I just completed this piece and after framing will be on it's way to Tirage Gallery. Balboa Facade is 10" x 8" and on a La Carte Pastel base, which is excellent in holding my successive layering of unblended pastels.

The painting is a depiction of an entryway near the Visitors Center at San Diego's Balboa Park (http://www.balboapark.org/). The Park houses the majority of the City's museums and dates back to 1868. If you visit, this is a must-see attraction.

    Your color palette is so vivid! It's tricky when plein air painting, if it's too bright my paintings can look so washed out when I bring it into the shade. An EasyL umbrella seems to help :) But you did fantastic with this Balboa Facade!

FRIDAY BREAK

2 + A HOLE 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR It's been a long week getting everything together for the opening of Frayed , so decided I needed a sweet treat to chill out. Nothing like a frosted donut which is always so yummy! When I was young my Mother used to make homemade donuts, which is indescribable. At that time my sister and 3 brothers fought over the "holes", which were a perfect one-bite affair that always melted in our mouths. Those were the days!

MEMORIES AND FAVORITES

DIGNITY pastel SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past.    Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have  enriched me greatly in so many ways.  Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with,  but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home. Fond memories.... gone but not forgotten.
