Lonetown Barn

This painting was done in watercolor pencils along with Winsor Newton Gouache.  It is 11 x 14 on Winsor Newton 140 CP watercolor paper.

This farm is located in Redding, CT.  I donated the painting to our Live Auction at St Thomas Church in Bethel, CT on May 14, 2011.

Any comments are always most appreciated.

"Signs of Autumn"

This was done with about 3 or 4 reference photos from which I consolidated into this final Fall landscape.  This painting is done on a  12 x 16 Unison Pastel hardboard.
I used Prismacolor pencils and Artstix along with Polychromos and Cran D'arche Neocolors II.  I also did use OMS (odorless mineral spirits) with the Neocolors.  I have found that this method does save time and your able to cover alot more ground.

Always look forward to all comments...

"Alvin" the Corgi!

This was our first pet Corgi who has passed away

many years ago. He was bought as pet quality

being that he had an overshot jaw. Hence the reason

he always had his tongue out !!! LOL

I did this painting on 11 x 7 Uart Pastel Paper 600 grit.

Did this with Prismacolor and Lyra Colored Pencils.

All comments are most welcome!

"Angel Claudia"

This colored pencil painting was done on 9 x 12 Canson Grey Metientes Pastel paper .

I used mainly Lyra and Prismacolor pencils.

It was really fun doing layer upon layer to create this "Angel Claudia"

This painting was given to my niece Cheryl"!

Please feel free to comment. Always love to hear from all my friends!

"Apples Galore"

This 9 x 12 colored pencil painting was done on white Strathmore Bristol Vellum paper.
I am really starting to like the results one gets with layering many coats of colored pencils and blending.

It took about a week and a half to get these final results.

I donated this painting to Our Live Auction at St Thomas Church in Bethel, CT on May 14, 2011. 

Enjoy and feel free to comment.
