PETITE STUDIES OF COLOR 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel portraits   I've been focusing much lately on portraiture and color.  And fortunately, when working in pastels, color is so accessible! Enjoying the boldness, looseness and asymmetrical positioning  of the figures.  

BLUE + ORANGE STUDY 11"h x 8 1/2" w pastel Amazed how time flies!  Is this happening to anyone else out there? And have been plugging away over here, yet quiet  as a mouse. Realized I've overlooked posting  on my blog, but hopefully some of you have been following me on Instagram.   I've been doing quite a bit of portraiture from life  as well as studio studies.  Above was from life.
