- Welcome to my art blog! This is where I share my explorations and learning experiences in pastel, watercolor and oil painting. I have had this blog for about six or more years. I am currently entering many national and regional juried art shows. I have a website and sell my work from there as well. I started a group called Reno Tahoe Plein Air Painters a year ago and it has grown to about 40 active painters! Each year brings new challenges and exciting opportunities. I have made many friends among other art bloggers and enjoy visiting their blogs. I hope you enjoy your visit here, and click on the links to my website and the plein air painters to see more!

Wow, Carolyn! Your pastel like a postcard with a heart of a flower! Because it seems real! I love your work! Color and shape are impressive. I love these flowers, they smell so nice and they have so tender leaves!
Painting with bunnies reminds me of my cat that always comes to draw with me in the yard. :-)
My congratulations to your Bunnies!
Hi. I have been thinking about flowers, also. There are those "Cowboys Eggs" blooming along the roads around here, I think they may be a sort of poppy? Have you seen them? I want to do the with watercolor, but alas, flowers are very difficult for me. Your peony is very nice and very well drawn. What a wonderful Idea to plein-air inside your house! That is also a ncie painting! Also, thanks for all your encouragement, Carolyn!
Lovely flower!
I see the paper is green (or brown?). It brings darkness to your work. I like it when you use your pastels on white clean papers.
Your bunnies sound very friendly!!!
Hi art gals! Kira, you pointed out something I didn't notice - the paper is actually a grayed down blue-green! In the photo it looks more greenish. Maybe it is because we have a green pop-up backyard canopy to shade our patio - so it may give a greenish tone in my photos. I'm glad to be aware of this for entering any photos in shows!
