Preview the Pear

Pelican

This pastel is from a photo I took in Port O'Conner Texas last September. Do you think he could have followed us to Naples?

Our Front Porch

This is a 6x6 pastel of our front porch. I can do full house portraits or just a small piece. I also did a pastel of Looking Out My Backdoor.

Golden Rock Nevis

This is from a photo I took while in Nevis. Love the color! It can be fromed to 8X10.

Making Guacamole Pastel

This is a pastel I did from the same set up. Which do you like better?

Where Are the Gulls?

This pastel is from a photo of a lonely gull at sunset.

Do, Do, Do, Looking Out my Backdoor CCR

This is a pastel of the pool and Alligator Lake...Looking out my backdoor. No alligators, but ducks, egrets, an eagle and other wildlife. No I did not "just get back from Illinois" But thanks to CCR for the title. I could do a painting of your backyard or a house portrait. Let me know soon if you need it for Christmas.

Colorado Mountain Stream

This is a mountain stream done in Pastel. I brighten it up a bit after I did the small painting I posted earlier. It hung in my house in Texas...but is now for sale.

Poppies to Palms

This pastel is from a photo I took at the Dallas Botanical Gardens. Looks like Florida though.

First Look

I took a photo of this cute family that seemed to be taking their daughter for a first look at the Gulf from our beach bridge at North Lake Drive. It is a pastel.

New Shell Paintings

These are shells, done in pastel from photos I took. They are on black LaCarte paper.

I used this shell on my business card. It is Pastel on Kitty Wallis.

Another 5x7 from a photo in the Cayman Islands

This is also from a photo taken in the Caymen Is. We took a trip to see the sting rays out from here. Sting Ray City

This is a sketch of a beach in pastel on paper.

This is "South of North Lake". Pastel. The beaches and water are beautiful here. We are a block away from this beach.

This is a palm I can see out the window of my home studio over the garage. The coconuts must be removed before hurricane season. I have several I need to have cracked open. Hopefully no hurricanes!
