I am excited to say that I have finally met Lana Ballot.  I did her 3-day workshop
at the Atelier Flowfield in St. James, Long Island.  I met some nice people and I
learned a lot.

We did seascapes in beautiful colors.  I have not finished any yet.  We watched her
paint in the morning and then we painted in the afternoon.

We were told not to expect to leave with a finished painting
I will work on them soon and when finished, I will post them here on my blog

My first ocean waves in pastel

Ocean Waves done in pastel

This one I am extremely happy with. I took a photo while I was in Bermuda and painted it on Mi Tientes sanded paper. It is a 9x12 and I used soft pastels, Sennelier and Rembrandt
I love the colors in this particular one

This is a landscape pastel that I recently did.  I did almost all of it on my own.  My teacher showed me where to touch it up a little but I am very proud of this one.  I can't wait to frame it

A pastel drawing of Ladies With Character class I took online with Yvonne Morrell

 Here is a travel journal of Paris when we visited in 2018
It has souveniers, pictures and all types of ephemera in it

Here is a pastel painting I did of a sunset for my friend
