A Little bit of Bob Marley

This is my friend Carmen's pastel picture for her son of Bob Marley, she has been working on this throughout my pastel workshops and it has turned out fabulous, well done Carmen!!  Finished it just in time right up to the end of the last lesson :)

 

Faces in the Crowd

I have had a passion for faces lately, so I pulled out the acrylics and created these two ladies.  I had so much fun doing something less structured.

Something different

I have been trying a few different styles since my exhibition, I have so many wonderful beach paintings and I am missing my pastels like crazy but I have decided to switch back to acrylics for a short while... If I can last it out, my fingers are itching to get back to my pastel box. 

Anyway I have so many wonderful photo's taken during our trip to Italy so I have decided to do a little series based on the amazing buildings that we saw. 

Please let me know what you think of this painting

Art Workshop for Kids

My Saturday morning kids finished a couple of pieces, Trinity completed her portrait of Gwen Stefani, done is gouche, what a fantastic job!!

 

Eloise completed her cup cake and was not happy with the results but I told her I love the almost abstract and simplistic look of her cup cake and she should be proud of it.

 

This picture above is the kids hard at work.....

Keep up the great work everyone, can't wait for next week :)

Painting - A Road Well Travelled

This is a slightly different painting for me but when I saw those clouds I knew I had to get the pastels out and capture it.  My friend's friend had taken this picture whilst travelling so thank you to both of them for letting me capture this moment in time. 

Even better news it sold last night and has gone off to a new home, the person that bought it rides a motorbike and this painting reminds him of being on the open road with just the white line for company.  It is always such a good feeling when someone connects with the painting. 


Enjoy this glorious spring weekend everyone!
