Deadlines = Productivity ;)

When it rains it pours. Two new galleries are interested in my work and both asked for a collection of work for April. Of course the answer is YES and so it's time to get busy. (More info to come on these galleries and what they're showing later next week.)

ASSORTED TITLES 
original pastels, 6x6" each

Always one to paint in waves of productivity, these six worked up rather quickly after many misses and pieces that are on the 'to be reworked' pile. This weekend I hope to do some larger pieces.

And there's the "Great Frame Up" show at Gallery9. My frame is a challenge, but I'm up to the task!

Highlights from my pastel studies project

Time seems to be tight lately, so I've been completing these small studies with verve. Having committed to spend a short amount of time on them, I can justify working for a moment when normally I wouldn't even think of painting because I don't have two+ hours.

ASSORTED STUDIES
original pastel, each 3x3"

Something is truly great about seeing the studies all together, sort of like those beautiful displays in shops of bulk items. Love those! These two photos represent a large portion of what I've done, but there are still a lot more in my studio awaiting their photo session later.

This sunset one was the beginning of so many changes for me, like trying to say more with less (something I still struggle with!) Love how it looks.

What will I do with all of these? So far I'm not sure, but they could end up in small framed collections on a theme. We'll see!
