"Candyscape" (pastel, 12x9)

I just spent the weekend in Marble Falls, TX, for their annual Paint The Town Plein Air Festival. I was thrilled when "Candyscape", my Friday piece, won 3rd Place in the competition and sold at auction!

Me and Marble Falls go way back. Read about our history, and see some progress shots of this delicious winner on my blog!

The rest of this month brings two fun festivals and (finally!) a workshop...

Pastel Workshops

My classic Pastel Workshop focuses on painting small and often to rapidly improve your skills and expand your knowledge. Grow your grasp of light, values, color and composition in a relaxed and fun atmosphere!

There's still time to register for my April Workshop later this month!

Still a few spaces left. Centrally located near Kansas City.
