Although it has  been a few weeks since I’ve blogged,  I have been busy with brush and pastels and teaching classes. 

I finished two oil pastel pieces in November and December and then spent the holidays traveling to see family and collecting ideas through photography and plein aire to use for later inspiration.

Right now I have a new oil painting going that I’m very excited about and hope to share it with you if it goes as planned---I never know for sure---what is in the head must make it to canvas.

I have been invited  to do an oil pastel demo presentation for the Stanly Arts Guild on February 4, at 6:45 p.m.  at the  Falling Rivers Gallery on Main St. in Albemarle, N.C. I’m looking making new friends in the arts and sharing about a medium that I’m excited about.
