My Museum

So how was the month of ‘love’ for you? Did you make it memorable or was it forgettable? I had a blast with mine, one of the most memorable, ever. As we bid February goodbye, here’s another of my works. May you sail on past the sunset and the sunrise on the ocean of life with the one that you love who loves you back and may each day make your relationship stronger, deeper and much more treasured Oil pastel on paper – Sailboat lovers

One of my paintings on a Christmas card I gave my big bear (beloved), two Cockatoos on a branch one snowy day. Nothing like giving something you’ve made yourself. Oil pastel pencils on card stock – (Cockatoos in love)

There’s nothing like watching the sunset with someone very special in your life. Something I want to do myself so I painted it. Oil pastel on sketchpad ("Sunset" - from "Love Inspired" Collection)

It’s the ‘Love’ month on ‘my museum’ and I, myself, will be very busy with a loved one the whole month of February (weee!) but I’ll not leave you guys with an empty page. I’ve lined up a series of posts ahead of time, here’s the first one for all of you celebrating love; three roses for your honey. Acrylic on card stock:

Cast shadow is what we commonly consider the shadow of any object, created by the side of the subject away from the source of light. Cast shadows make the subject sit on the paper or canvass. Form shadow is the darker side of the subject itself that is away from the source of light. Form shadows give your subject a three-dimensional effect and shape.
