Mayfair in a Pool of Light, 7x5" pastel


This is another pastel from one of my favorite shots of our yellow Labrador, Mayfair.  She recently died this past April. I took many photographs of her. This one was right at dusk and the sun was filtering through the leaves. Mayfair was investigating all the smells in the earth. There was a quiet hush in this precious moment. I have painted several art works of her since she died. She was such a sweet girl, patient and loving. I'm sure that I will continue painting more pictures of her.

Shell Wave, 8x10" pastel


One of my favorite patterns in nature is a spiral. This painting explores spirals found in both waves and sea shells. "Shell Wave" is a painting of a wave in the shape of shells rolling in to the land. The title of the painting and the signature is in the lower right corner.

Leaving the Swamp, 10x8" pastel - SOLD


 
This pastel is a celebration of working through and leaving behind intense negative emotions; letting go of them; giving them to God; letting go, letting God. I could just as well write "The Divine", or "All that Is" or any other reference to the Higher Power. The boatman is steering out of the swamp; but the swamp also produces the most beautiful flowers, waterlilies that grow out of the muck.  To bid on this pastel at ebay.
