Getting one of my babies ready to go live with its new dad in California. Glassine makes a great protective cover for pastel paintings.
I've done small series before, 3 or 4 pieces that are alternatives of a common theme (Jock series, Sexually Implicit series, Natural Beauties series). I've also done pieces that are kind of 'sequels to others'. But my plans for my next project is to do a diptych, two paintings that work as one (connected by an imaginary 'hinge') while also being stand alone works.
My original painting "Born and Bred" has been purchased by a private collector in California. Limited and open edition prints are available.
Original (Sold)
18¼" x 24 pastel on pastel paper

I started this piece just before vacation and had planed to get started on it as soon as I returned, but the sneezing woman on the plane decided to give me her cold to slow me down. Oh well, I'm feeling better than I did over the weekend, time to get nutcracking on my Christmas piece!
I thought the little notice bar across the top of the page might be easily overlooked. Just want everyone to know that I will be away and I will ship any order placed now through the 21st after I return.
