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.

Wild Mustard

Wild Mustard, Coppell TX, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. Like most invasive species, beautiful flowering en masse. That and being edible are two of many reasons it has been able to flourish, robbing resources and space usually occupied by Texas Bluebonnets and other native plants now said to be in danger because of it.

Fern Gestures, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, framed size 27H x 33W”. Framed size 27H x 33W inches, white wood frame, crackle finish. There are more purples in the darker areas that aren’t showing up very well in the photo here.
I love feedback and constructive criticism. My artist-friend Virginia suggested adding the fiddleheads, and although I had initially planned not to add any, the design is now much more interesting. Thanks V! Left thumbnail shows the piece before adding the fiddleheads.
