Art Updates...

The writing gene apparently did not rub off on me, which is probably why I don't post more...yep, that's my excuse. Maybe I need to write less and post more pictures.
I've been working on quite a few pieces since I last posted here, so I'm going to update everyone!

Let's see...I finished a charcoal drawing of a local dairy cow... this is 16" x 20" on pastelbord...



I finally finished the Lily of the Valley (it's a Flower of the Month for May). It's 8" x "10" on Stonehenge paper...and yes, it was white paper that I painstakingly darkened. (Reminder to myself that there are other papers to choose from!)


I also finished the tiger lilies here, that I believe is on Aquabord (Ampersand). It's 10" x 8" and is framed without glass.


The poinsettias are actually small - 4" x 4", almost coaster size, which is exactly what my family thinks it should be...


Another flower of the month, this time for June...an antique rose.


This is a 16" x 20" pastel of tropical flowers...I keep forgetting what they're called. I can't decide whether or not to leave it as is, with part of it incomplete, or work it a little more. That's why I haven't framed or named it. 


And finally, the autumn berries - on aquabord, 7" x 5", framed without glass. (I may have already added this to a post, but maybe not?)

I do have another colored pencil flower I'm working on...I promise to add this as I work instead of posting the finished product.

Hi Janae,
Your white tropical flower is Plumeria and also known as Frangipani. Love it! (and the memories!)

Thanks Mags! I'll go with Plumeria instead of Frangipani. Easier to remember, though I keep wanting to say Freesia. Maybe I could name it "Not Freesia" instead. Our trip was fun, wasn't it? ...sigh
