"TINTED VISION" (self portrait)
Pastel
12" x 9"
SOLD

All vision is unique, tinted by an individual's life experiences. The vision of an artist is further complicated by the "Principles of the two dimensional surface expression." The sunglasses in this piece serves as an excellent metaphor.

"SHIRLEY"
Pastel,
9" x 12"
SOLD

This piece is painted on Wallis paper using pastels and a black & white reference. I was drawn to the beautiful bouncy curls. I used warm colors in the background to suggest a light youthfulness.
The pastel paper is mounted on foam board and the painting is unframed.
