Queen Anne’s Way

12″x18″ pastel on sanded paper

This painting was from a photo, painted in my daughters’ dance studio not my art studio.  I grabbed a small palette of colors, taped a paper to a board and headed to their class.  I find I have lots of time to paint, if I am creative where I look.

Queen Anne’s Walk

12″x18″ pastel on sanded paper

Queen Anne’s lace is all over fields and road sides where I live right now.  It is tall and willowy, and wild.  


I love painting in the middle of such fields.  Even when conditions are challenging.

Wind: check

Snakes: thankfully, not today

Chiggers: double check
