Well, here goes! Like many other artists, I have set a goal of painting 100 small paintings within the next few months. I have no idea where this road will take me, but I am excited and ready for the journey.

Painting #1 began with a turpentine wash on Wallis sanded paper and then layered pastels over that. I was intrigued with the many colors reflected within the shadow on the deer as well as capturing the tenseness of the deer's body as it remained alert for danger.

These small paintings (6 x 9" or smaller) are available for $100, unframed and including shipping.
