"Textures I"

I had to let loose and do more abstracts. I did two "Texture" paintings in acrylic. I posted this horizontally, but it can work vertically or upside down. Whenever I do one of these, I don't want to sign them because I don't know where to sign it!!

"Lake Travis III"

This is another pastel painted on emerald green velour board.

I'm going to have to resupply myself soon as I only have one piece

of velour left. This scene is from the parking lot on the left side of

the Oasis. After I parked one day I snapped a photo for this painting.

I don't think there is a bad view from any location at the Oasis!

"Pink Jazz"

This was fun! I tried another experiment. My good friend

Carol gave me several scraps of velour board left over from her

framing projects. I tried painting with pastels on this very

different surface and was surprised how much I enjoyed it.

The pastels handle totally different, but I was pretty pleased

with the outcome. The gal in this painting really has hair

the color I painted it!

"Hill Country II"

This is a pastel I painted from a drive by photo.

It's just the side of the road around the Oasis

restaurant. I snapped the photo from my car

window. Sometimes it's the little things that

inspire me.
