Cam’s crab shell
Tuesday, February 6th, 2024
Who sees a crab shell on the beach and thinks, “I wanna paint that thing!”? … my 12-year-old grandson. We took him to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time when he visited us during Thanksgiving last year. He also gathered a lot of shells to create a video of smashing. When I go to the beach, my imagination only ventures as far as how pretty it would be as a pastels-on-paper seascape, but true creativity knows no bounds. I love it!

First Time in the Garden
Thursday, February 9th, 2023
First Time in the Garden, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. The images below are three phases of the work in progress. I liked the garden details but chose to blur some of them at the edges in order to keep the emphasis on the chick.

New Feathers, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, framed size 27H x 33W”. A few years back my husband bought 200 little chicks, raised them and sold them as they grew. Such characters, and what a great experience.
Sleepy Sun Bear
Friday, October 30th, 2020
Sleepy Sun Bear, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper.
I took some great photos of this sun bear soaking up the sun on a warm winter day at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas – what a character. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the Asian Sun Bear as vulnerable because the population has declined by 35% in the past 30 years.
