Town and Country

I just returned from visiting my parents in the north Georgia Mountains and I'm taking advantage of a few uninterrupted days in my studio before I embark upon my first visit to Charleston, South Carolina. I'm still working on the finishing touches for my new book and I'm not sure if I'll get it done this month....It may have to wait until early next month. Such is life these days, but here are a couple of brand new pieces for you enjoy:

Winter Wisp

Winter Wisp 8 x 24 Pastel on paper.


"Winter Wisp" captures a February sunset in north Centre county. As I mentioned in one of my recent posts, I'm absolutely reveling in the snow that we've received this winter because it makes gorgeous panoramic compositions like this possible.

New York Blues

New York Blues 8 x 16 Pastel on paper.


The second piece is "New York Blues." I'm finding that I enjoy this smaller format because I can pack a lot of energy into the piece. You can read more about this piece on my web site, where I just added it.
