Gallery Exhibit

I am very happy to be selected as gift shop artist by the Toe River Arts Council.  There is an exhibit of the twelve newly selected artist which opened last Saturday and will run until May 10th.  Most of the work is from the Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days event of last January.   There will be a reception in the Burnsville NC gallery April 17th from 5 until 7:30 PM.  (Happy Dance!)

Escape from Winter


A bit of escapism from the snow to Jacksonville Beach.  I prefer pastels on the beach, rather than oils.
After a day of being Spring Break entertainment I moved further away from the entry.

A New Morning
Pastel 6 x8







 


River Run
Pastel 9 x 12


Then a return to the mountains.  The beach was so much simpler, I chose a larger format for the woods, the painting needs much more work.  But I haven't done pastels for 1-1/2 years so it was good to get back to that medium.
