"Reflections on the Lake"
Pastel Painting

"Plein Air Painting at
Shellback Ranch"  Oil Painting

This past weekend was was the reception for the RSVP Show at the library here in Cheyenne.  I was excited to receive awards in two categories.  I won 3rd place for my impressionist painting "Reflections on the Lake" and 2nd place in mixed media for my abstract painting, "Full Metal Jacket".  Completing my  mixed media piece was down to the wire, putting in the finishing details up to the evening before.  I was running so late, I  forgot to take a photo, so I will have to show you it at a later!  If you are at the library you can check out the show which will hang until December 19th.  My 3 paintings can be found in the display windows in the first floor hall.  Don't forget to check out all 3 floors for all the art!  
Also there will be a special  Christmas Parade Arts and Crafts Show in the Cottonwood Room  at the library on Friday and Saturday,  November 25-26 featuring different works of art by the artists participating in the RSVP show.  I will be showing 3 more paintings with note cards and notebooks.

Storm Warning

Pastel painting "Storm Warning"


Recently I finished this painting studying the Wyoming skies.  I treasure our sunsets here in Wyoming, they are a beauty to behold!  In this painting I was interested in showing a sunset with a treat of a storm building.  Most every color can be found in our skies and clouds.  Next time your outside look carefully and you will see colors from vivid orange reds to pale yellows and greens, as well as typical blues.
