I Have a New Website!


Available on my new website, (link) my original images printed on canvas, paper, fabric, metal and more! And it allows the buyer to select the size and material of each print, pillow, notebook, or phone case. Remember to click on a photo to see it enlarged.


These are some of the images I captured off the website. They will give you an idea of what is available from me and other artists on the Fine Art America website.


So if anyone has wanted a painting of mine, but wanted a smaller or larger image of that work, here is an opportunity to create something, using my work, but to your specifications. I hope this makes it easier for anyone to purchase something I have created - but just the way they want it for their own home and use.

Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for improvements!

More "Old" Artwork - This Time: PASTELS!


Looking over the old pastel paintings, I'm surprised that they all are portraits. I rarely do portraits, yet pastel is a perfect medium for doing them.


Pastels are all concentrated color/pigment and one can work rather quickly with them or slowly, if that is preferred. The latest pastel artists are now doing watercolor and/or acrylic underpaintings prior to adding the pastel to complete the piece. Other artists are now using pastels in their mixed media work. Maybe it's time for me to play with pastels a bit!


The one below is a portrait of our son during those rebellious years... He grew up but remains a bit of a rebel. I guess he inherited that from my side of the family. Dad and I have both been considered rebels!


For anyone living in central Pennsylvania, our local Pastel Society is having a show at The State College Framing Company and Gallery for the next 6 weeks. Tne gala opening is tonight beginning at 5:30 in the Hill's Plaza on South Atherton Street. No, I'm not a current member, but I was when we first moved here! It's a great group!
