FIONA
Pastel, 9" x 12"

I found the lighting and tilt of the head of this model very intriguing, not the typical pose for someone so young. I was quite surprised at the ease with which I painted her - none of the struggle I sometimes endure with some of my paintings - sweet pleasure.

BLUE PASHMINA
Oil, 16" x 20"
SOLD

This piece is painted in oil using both brushes and painting knives on stretched canvas.
I don't use medium when I paint, if I need to thin the paint, I use a little walnut oil. I seek out materials that are as safe as possible and most mediums are too toxic for my liking.
PROFILE IN BLUE
Pastel, 9" x 12"
SOLD

Using soft pastels and wallis paper, I painted this lovely young model in profile. She is quite comfortable and natural at posing and is fast becoming my muse.
