FALL NOCTURNE

At the bend of the road, glimpses of setting sun.

CHOCOLATE

Had a craving for a chocolate cake. Took some time off from my garden & got busy in my kitchen. Baking a mocha cake is easier than painting something brown. Experimented with different ways to draw chocolate. My kneaded eraser over brown pastel gave me just the right highlight...unapologetically luxurious chocolate FIX! All in all, a very good day!

INTERESTING VIEW

Nothing like a bit of snow, to see something interesting out my window. I've been spending most of my focus on this HOUSE PORTRAIT for a commission. I'm using egg tempera & it's a very slow process. A quick pastel makes for a nice break. It helps to really get to know your art supply. For me, choosing the right medium can express exactly how I feel at the moment.
