Here are a few of my angels

Hope you like them.

oops wrong lily

the last post had the wrong lily in it.  A little earlier before some additions.

My last few images

Here are a few images of works still in progress and ones that are finished.  The full frontal Orchid is finished but the other side view is just shy of being done, both are on plexi and are 2'X3'.  The yellow and redish orange orchid is not finished and is in need of some serious work to be considered finished, its 2'X4'.  The other two, Lily and Iris, are finished for now but I'm planning on sanding and finishing again with another layer of sealant.  Probably will have to do that for the african daisy and yellow orchid.  This series of flowers has been challenging but very rewarding.  I have stayed away from chalk pastel mainly due to the sound of using them.  But with the help of an mp3 player I have found a new love for them.  How they blend and can be so smooth.  To me they look like soft oil paintings.  Thanks for visiting my blog.  Even though my class is over I'll be adding stuff from time to time so check back and leave a message when you can.  Leave a name too or initials or  nickname or whatever.  Hate the annonymous thing.

Finished African Daisy

I'm putting this on my blog for fear that it doesn't fit in my car.  Hope the details help it out.  It is 4'X4' on wooden panel.  Chalk pastel with layers of shellac.

Some I'm working on now

These are my newest.  2'X4' for the Iris and 3'X4' for the Waterlily.  Both are chalk pastel and acrylic on panel.

One I started and the finished orchid

Here are some pics of the finished orchid and a few details of it.  The other is a new one I started which will be an african violet.  It is 4'X4'.  I'm not sure I can fit it in my car.

Basically finished

Here is the yellow orchid which i have finished adding the pastel now to spritz and cover with a layer of glaze.
