8 x 10 pastel "Copper Kettle"

I'm starting to do small paintings again on a regular basis. This is a pastel, but I'll be working in oil, as well. I miss painting daily as I did last year. I will be still working in a larger format along the way and will post all I do.

I'll try to post an image of this one framed when it's done.

This weekend I did portrait sketches at the art show called Spirit Echoes in Austin. Sure enjoyed meeting the people I sketched. This fellow is a farrier and the couple had almost visible hearts floating around them. Very sweet.
