LAYERS OF THE NIGHT 6"w x 4"h pastel Private Collector At first glance, all was dark... subdued and moody tones coating the sky. At second glance, thin ribbons of colors were revealed... streaking, as hot flashes.

PATRICIAN DESIGN Saturday, September 25th, I spent the day on a sidewalk.  Literally... And had so much fun!  Patrician Design has a Sidewalk Artists Series that runs from March  through November and profiles each of it's represented Artists.  Such a wonderful opportunity to view works of all sorts,  as well as to meet the Artist. Above was my tiny set-up as I painted away on a pastry,  purchased from Patrician's neighbor, Gold Street Caffe .  If in Albuquerque, please stop bye to see my pastels  at Patrician Design, then stroll next door for a wonderful meal. Thanks Patti for a memorable day!

AT THE BLUE MESA 11"h x 14"w pastel on wood panel and gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR Remember that old saying "Time flies"? It definitely does.  I was just reminiscing about my travels to the Petrified Forest  National Park and amazed that it has been one year, since I was  juried as one of the Park's 2009 Artist-in-Residents. I lived within a three-room historical adobe at the Park for  two weeks and painted non-stop from early morning to late  evening. True bliss! Above is a pastel on a primed wooden panel, which greatly enhanced  the texture of rough rocks. And the mountainous scene is one  of many located along the 3 1/2 mile loop leading from the Park's  main road to the Blue Mesa Trail.
