Art and thoughts

First, I wanted to finish a piece for my younger sister, whom I haven't seen for five years. This took longer than I thought, but it is finished and waiting for her arrival in ten days or so...

And I also have two shows coming up, one at The Galleries in Concord NC and one at The Cornwell in Charlotte NC. So I'm going to need 20-25 pieces ready for those shows.

I got this one done on last Monday, "Whispers", the first of a series of 'looking down' on clouds, starting out with a faint ground image

Pastel, (of course), 12x12

And my progress on piece #2 of the looking down on clouds series, almost done:

pastel, 12x12, in progress

So, it's September 10th, and my goal is a painting each week until October 30!!
