Latest Art News


Greetings!

I have been laying low in the art scene the last few years but happy to say I'm picking it up again.

I had the pleasure of doing a demo for the Texas Pastel Society at the Coppini Academy of Fine Arts last year.  Will be doing another demo in February 2020 with a twist.  Check it out.

Texas Pastel Society Texas Treasures Member Show

Greetings!

Recently I participated in the beautiful Texas Treasures Member Show which was held at the Coppini Academy of Fine Arts Gallery.

I've been away from the art scene for a while due to life getting in the way.  It was such fun to talk to fellow pastel artists.  Came away inspired!  That's our motto, Shared Ideas=Inspiration!

I haven't competed in some time, but entered a piece titled "Two Natural Wonders".  It received a 3rd Place from Judge Susan Carlin.  Thanks!

The piece was inspired by the wonderful sunlight and shadows on my grandson's face.  It captivated me...he was a little over two years old and we carried him around to Albequerque, New Mexico for the Pastel Convention.  We visited the amazing Grand Canyon and he stood there very sure of himself as I snapped the picture.  I enjoyed painting this little boy at the Grand Canyon, two natural wonders.

Hope to see you all on January 12th at the Coppini for the Texas Pastel Meeting.    11th Anniversary for Texas Pastel Society in January!  Congrats! I'll be doing a demo for the meeting.  Such an honor..thank you.

I'm Baack!

Hello fellow artists and art lovers!

My apologies for the delay in updating my art blog.  It's been a difficult year but I hope to post news regularly.

Look for new artwork on my online Gallery.

And a reminder that I'm still teaching at Hobby Lobby, Bandera at Huebner on Tuesdays, 10-12noon. This is my 17th year at Hobby Lobby.  A lot has been accomplished, we've had art shows and the Texas Pastel Society was launched with the support of fellow artists. 

The 10 year anniversary of TXPS is coming up in  January 2018.  Check out the Texas Pastel Society blog and take time to look at the older blogs.  We've had a blast!

Join me to refresh your art or to learn new ideas in pastel painting.

Happy painting!
