Ever have one of those days where you varnish something and realize after, the varnish reacted and now I see splotchy canvas barely showing through one color. Not juried show ready 😥
These moments make me love my pastels even with their spacer matte and glass.

Hello everyone! I’m Sally, an artist in Buxton, regional Vic where I work in my home studio. My art is pop-y and surreal-y. I love painting sweet things from childhood 🍬 I left behind a 20yr career in advertising to paint full time and I couldn't be happier 😊 Here are a few of my favorite artworks✨

For this #MeaningfulMonday #art challenge- an Iberian Lynx. This painting is meaningful because there was a point when the Iberian Lynx was heading to extinction. Thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers are rising and they are no longer critically endangered.

Here is a pastel I did of a special place in Wisconsin that I would visit, hike and fish at. I created this with Rembrandt and Nupastel on UArt 800 sanded paper. “Fall at Sidie Hallow”

#Blueskyart helpers. When you’re just too cute and you know it.
Picture it, a normal Tuesday afternoon and I discover a black ink puddle on the floor from the printer behind the file cabinet.
The house is my blank canvas I must leave my paw covered artistic mark 🎨🖼️🐾🐾🐾🐾. Everywhere..

I love clouds and sky’s are a favorite place to start with my pastels. Here’s was a beginning to a country scene I did.
Remember with your art and dreams, sky’s the limit.
