'Danaé and the shower of gold',
is a pastel painting I made a few years ago. It's a subject which gave me the excuse to play around with light and shadow on the body. #figurativepainting #artonbluesky #painting #fineart

Our little local lake. Someone asked if they could look at what I was doing, which I thought was ironic in the circumstances. #pleinair #oilpainting #notAI #artonbluesky #bathers #oiloncanvas #paintingfromlife

I always approved of finding individuality in art by working from life. My niece posed for this in her wedding dress. I had fun with a broad brush and impasto on the dress.

Portrait of a man. A friend posed for this pastel. I wanted to capture his depth. Faces fascinate me. #portrait #humanity #kindness #artist #art #livingpainter #life #pastel #pastelartist

I'm an artist living in rural France, finding inspiration in the surrounding people and landscape. This is 'Lock down bonfire' a pastel done during COVID. #art #contemporarypainting #softpastels #figurativeart

I spent 10 days or so obsessing about the news, but I'm back trying push my art on Blue sky. This is a recent portrait of Ségo, done from life in the studio.

Here's a new pastel. This post isn't about words, I'm looking for other painters to share work and with. Are they there on Blue sky?

Like many others, I feel I have to leave the big tech corporations and I'm hoping Blue sky is a healthier place to share artwork.
