REDHEAD 12" x 9" pastel on paper Well I'm still on the fly with nearly all possessions in storage. But it is so nice to start getting into the daily flow of things!  Above, REDHEAD, is from a life drawing session today.  Nice to dust the cobwebs off and paint!

AND WITH MANY THANKS TO  TIRAGE ART GALLERY ! So very fortunate in today's world to have gallery  representation and am very honored to have been  carried by Tirage Art   for over a decade! With many embracing the world of technology, the brick and mortar shops have been falling to the wayside. Yet there is nothing like going in person to view original art. I don't care how many pixels / per inch a computer screen has, for it's deceiving to the original scale. A viewer may be impacted by very small images with great detail, as opposed to a very large and simplistic rendering. So please remember your galleries! They are so important to the livelihood of artists and the gallery owners, as well as promote original art.  So with humble thanks to Tirage Art , here are pictures of just a few of their very recent sales.

ORANGE + BLUE RIBBONS* 5" x 5" pastel on paper *no mat nor frame $50 + $5 Insured shipping It has been quite a while, but I have finally returned to "blogdom"! In the interim, I had moved from sunny  San Diego to sunny Albuquerque, which is glorious in it's  own rights. Having lived here nearly two decades ago, it  feels as if I've returned home.  I have not settled into permit dwelling, so painting on the fly. And what would be more apropos than a colorful, original sky? The skies in Albuquerque have so much movement,  particularly during sunny days, which I will be showing more later. Please note since I'm in temporary housing, that this little sweet sky is not framed nor matted, which has  been reflected in the cost.
