SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

CLOWN KITTY (Gordon) 5" x 5" pastel on wood 6" square white frame and glass Private Collector A week ago Saturday was my time to hang on a sidewalk  at Patrician Design and paint kitties and pooches.  That was a trip! Fortunately it was a sunny, nice day with many people strolling  bye. I got to paint Tater and his Mom brought Tater along.   So I juggled treats, pet the pooch and painted away. Such a happy  dog! And I think Tater had enough treats to last him a week! I painted Clown Kitty (Gordon) before the event, so didn't  have to juggle a kitty. But Gordon really was wearing a clown  collar in the photo, so I didn't take an artistic license and create  it. Wish I would have thought of it though, for so cute!   And if you're in the market for a pet portrait, hop right down to Patrician Design in ABQ for there's one more week to this event.

KIT-KAT WITH STRIPES 9" x 12" pastel sketch I've been playing around with sketches to introduce  new techniques and substrates to my current class.  The kit-kat is on a textural handmade paper - which I  have never  used previously and unsure if I would use  again  with  pastels. It just does not hold up to extensive  layering,  unlike the sanded base I typically use.  Or perhaps  I should change my method of execution?  All in all, it's fun to try new things.
