Yellow Hibiscus

Day 7 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

Another one I'll do again in a larger size. Will put in more darks

for better contrast, more depth. I love these flowers--they come in 

such a wide range of beautiful colors, and are so striking because of the size.

Still Together

Day 6 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel.  2.5" x 3.5".

This shell is so beautiful--I was not able to do it justice in pastel in this small

format. It is perfectly symmetrical, and mine is not!

I'll have to try a larger version, maybe in oil.

St. Simon's Marsh

Day 5 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel, 2.5" x 3.5".

Another marsh, at high tide.

Golden Fields

Looking across a marsh at St. Simon's Island in Georgia.

(This painting is sold!)

Egret

Day 3 in 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Pastel, 2.5" x 3.5". Took the photo for this painting

at St. Simon's Island in Georgia. These birds look like statues--they move very slowly until

they strike to catch their prey.  Fun to watch.

Colorful Palm

 Pastel, 2.5"x3.5"

Day 2 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  I love palm trees and have hundreds of photos of various 

kinds. Still trying for a painting of one that I like--so I'll be painting more and learning while I do.

Forgot to say that the print at the top is the paper company logo on the edge of the paper (Canson)--I didn't notice at first and thought, oh well! ;)

Pacific View

Day 1 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Since I'm traveling this month, I decided I'd better do quick, small paintings.  So I'm doing 2.5"x3.5"--known as ATC's--Artist Trading Cards.  Using pastels, I'm a little rusty in this medium--I've been using oils and acrylics lately.  So I hope I get back in the groove with pastels!
