THE OLD BARN


0.4 black gel pen on white paper
6"x 8"

I sketched this painting in pen for my husband's birthday card. I have posted it on the A Day Not Wasted  June challenge. I have also started to paint it in oils, for the colours are great.  

THE BLUE DOOR



Soft pastel and pastel pencil on white Colourfix paper.
16"x 23"

Lee Brown ( A Day Not Wasted ) is a superb photographer, and he kindly gave me permission to create this painting from a photo he took in France, I believe during a trip to Europe last year.

PONTE VECCHIO

 I used pastel pencils on 8"x12" natural sienna Pastelmat
 for the ADNW February challenge. I was completely out
 of my comfort zone, but I persevered! I think architecture
 is not for me.

TIGER

This painting is for the latest Studio Atelier
 challenge. The original photo was taken in
 a zoo, so I altered the background.

Pastel pencil on Pastelmat.
