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.

You always have to try something new. My first black ink pen art. I think it may be time to try ink with watercolor.
