Gray Days

There are so many grey day at this time of year. Here's a little more color from a fall paint out in Mazama WA. Paint outs are wonderful because you spend lots of time painting with other painters. I always learn a lot.

A New Year's Resolution

ring the bells that still can ring


forget your perfect offering


there is a crack in everything


that's how the light gets in

Happy New Year

This is a day to reflect, remember and make plans for the coming year. Here's hoping it's a good year for everyone. This pastel was painted remembering a great jazz musician, George Duke. I'm happy to say it received a juror's award from Casey Klahn at the Northwest Pastel Society 2013 Member's exhibit at the Schack Art Center in Everett, WA. Thank you Casey.
