 STACKED + FLOWING 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel on sanded paper 8" square white mat and black frame $155 - shipping + tax inclusive I've been off with a busy life  . . . who would believe during a pandemic? In the time I've been MIA, I  conducted a pastel class for Oasis/ABQ. That truly was an experience! I love teaching yet it was so difficult with keeping a 6' distance and wearing a mask for the duration of the class. I was actually abled to cover more material yet sure did a lot of talking! Exhausted when all was done.  So pictured above, Stacked + Flowing  is one example for the class on paste l washes. I feel there is a lot of movement capturing the flight of clouds.

2 DOORS + WHITE CLOUDS  6"h x 9" w pastel museum glass, gold fillet + linen liner   11 1/2" h x 14 1/2"w gold frame $395 + $20 insured shipping  Sadly time flies where life caught up with me.  I've been missing for so long, but unfortunately my iMac  died some time ago, and has taken me some time replacing  software and computer. Isn't technology amazing?  So nearly up and running and thought I better resurface.  The above pastel is an older and favorite of mine. If you've ever visited New Mexico, would be familiar with Taos Pueblo.  The serenity and spirits of the place is overwhelming, with a wonderful setting of blue skies and white clouds.    Thank you for sticking by me and will be here more often.  New art coming your way!

Detail of White Sands 10" x 10" acrylic on canvas SOLD! Playing around with acrylics and attempting to achieve movement of the imagery as with my pastels.
