The World Cup is seriously interfering with my efforts to do anything after work, including art. This Saturday I told myself I HAD to make something, so this came about during the Colombia/Uruguay game. It was a little distracting.

This one was really hard for me. It didn't come out quite like I wanted, but that's ok. The colors are pretty. It's from my calendar, too- a sugar farm in Vermont.

This is a lighthouse in Massachusetts. I was feeling a little nostalgic and wanted to do some pictures of New England. I've never actually seen this particular lighthouse, but it's in my New England calendar and I really liked it.

After I did the charcoal of the hot air balloons, I decided I should do one in color, too, since balloons are always so colorful.

This is another one that I started a long time ago and just finished. I don't really love the way the colors photographed, but you get the idea.

I started this one ages ago and finally got around to finishing it this week.

This was an attempt at using chalk pastels to watercolor. I think further exploration of this technique will need to wait till I've got a better handle on dry pastels.

I can't think of anything to say for this one...

I've found that even when I'm drawing or painting, it's usually of plants or flowers. Can you tell I'm a florist?

I've been trying to learn pastel painting cause I love trying new mediums and I find the chalkiness so fun. And hard. Pastels are definitely a work in progress for me.
