"Paint What You Love"

"Paint What You Love"
"Paint What You Love", by R.J. Ball, Pastel on velour

Jun 26, 2012

While getting ready for an art show and sale in which I participated, in June, I realized I had not posted a photo of this painting.  It started out as a practice on values, and was done in pastel pencil.  The log hangs on my deck, and was a going away gift from a very special friend, when we left Santa Fe.  There are some very gifted wood carvers in that area.  The birds are a part of the log, but do come off.  The log has also become a haven for a bird nest, with a lot of chirping from hungary mouths.

"Checking It Out", Pastel pencil, 30" x 18"



I have now caught you up on my journey, thus far.  What's next?  My mind is whirling with ideas!!  Too many!  I have two sequels in mind for "Paint What You Love" and "Have Fun", and have started on one of them, but, that will take some time.  I am also wanting to get back to some dog paintings, plus the Texas wildflowers.  So far, I have done three wildflowers, and am keeping them small.  That will be my next post.
