9″x12″ pastel on sanded paper
Here is an example of my painting process. Doing value, and color studies often make the painting go faster, and the result has better energy and freshness than when I fail to plan.
Super Bloom
10″x8″ oil on linen panel
Life in Death Valley. Last year we visited during the super Bloom, the color was outstanding!
White Rock Fog
10″x8″ oil on linen panel
I love this early morning Texas fog. The subside palette is so beautiful.
My Barn
12″x9″ oil on panel
I loved the way the light caught this load of brush.
Pink Ladies
12″x9″ pastel on sanded paper
This is a quick study of a beautiful Texas bloom. We have a fields of these around our house right now, they seem to glow from within. They are a beautiful pink, but they often show up in photos almost white. This study was to capture the color and the glow.
Sycamore Seen
18″x12″ pastel on sanded paper
This was a demo for the recent workshop I taught. The workshop was a success, and I am so proud of my student’s hard work.
Pink Evening Primrose
12″x9″ pastel on sanded paper
Fantastic workshop day!!! I am teaching in North Texas, and there are beautiful wild flowers. Today was rainy for plein air, but we worked up color studies and expanded them to finished paintings.
Chicken House
8″x10″ oil on panel
I had a great day plain air painting Saturday, I love the energy of painting with other painters!

I am teaching a spring plain pastel workshop based out of my studio in Texas April 25-28. I am also offering pastel, oil, and painting sampler classes at Ghost Ranch, in northern New Mexico this summer.
Completing an art workshop is a great way to do more art, develop a consistent practice, and grow your art community. I would love to paint with you and help you become the artist you want to be!
Scratching Around
