Christmas Chickadee

SOLD
Just a little ACEO inspired by the joy of Christmas time! I doubt the berries would be this big in real life, but I just love drawing them, so I made them rather prominent. This is Colour Pencil on Colourix Paper.

Lilacs in December

SOLD
I've been working very hard this month, but haven't been able to post, since all my work involves upcoming Christmas gifts!
I managed to do this little ACEO as I took a short break from the commissioned work. Oil on Colourfix Paper.

And Another....

SOLD
Both this egg and the one below are currently available on Ebay...

Guess What? Another EGG!

SOLD
Yup, I just can't stay away from those lovely shapes, colours, and reflections. Every time I crack open an egg, I can't resist the urge to paint it! This is an ACEO; Oil on Colorfix.

I was thrilled to discover today that I am a Finalist in five categories of the Year's Best Aceo Awards! Pictured here is the logo for finalists in the Realism category. The other categories in which I qualified are Still Life, Landscape, Animals/Wildlife, and Floral/Botanical. The contest closes in about ten days.

Child with Goat

I'm so busy with my commissioned work that I don't have much time to create anything new; so I'm posting an older work today. This is a pastel portrait based on an image in a World Vision brochure. I used soft pastels, but if I were to do it today, I'd be using oil pastels. After Christmas I'll post some Oil Pastel portraits I'm working on right now......since they're a gift for someone, I'd better not take the risk of putting them on my blog before Christmas!

Lone Marble on White

SOLD
I love the way Oil Pastels offer the perfect blend of drawing and painting!
