Awesome turnout in Eastham MA “No Kings” protest today! Over 1,000 people in the rain! Peaceful, overwhelming support from passing motorists, and a great feeling to see so many turning out to be on the right side of history.

"Under the Orange Umbrella," 12" x 9" pastel. I loved the orange glow cast on the folks hanging out under the umbrella, and the brilliant light on the figures who were partially underneath.

Happy Valentines Day!

Pastel done from life, from a Valentines Day bouquet my husband gave me a few years ago.

On my easel today- a pastel of a sunny beach as an antidote to the cold snowy dreary day. Still a ways to go on the sand.

Experimenting with Colourfix Velour paper. I usually use pastels on sanded paper or Pastelmat. The velour is very smooth and doesn't hold many layers of pastel. It's also hard layering light over dark. PanPastels work well on it. Having said that, I'm happy with what's happening here so far!
