Trio
Pastel, 48 x 61 cm (jpg 36k)
This painting started out as a failure. At one point I was so frustrated with it that I set it aside for two years. One day I put it back on the easel and finished it in an hour. It seemed to paint itself. Later it won an award in a national juried exhibit of the Pastel Society of North Florida. See The Artist's Magazine, June, 1995, pg 56-61.

Bay Dune
Pastel, 51 x 76 cm.
A view of Choctawhatchee Bay in northwest Florida. This scene is no more. It was forever altered by hurricane Opal.

Wings
Pastel, 21 x 14 in.
Wings is derived from a composit of three photos. I used negative spaces interlocking with the positive in the design of this composition. Thumbnail pencil sketches were helpful in this process.
