Puppy Looking for a Home





Looking for a Home
pastel on Mi Tientes black paper

This pastel piece is in a private collection in Texas. 

This is one of the many homeless dogs I have painted or drawn since 2006. 
Soft pastel sticks are great for showing texture in an animal's fur. 
I do love working with pastel pigments.

Remember to check your local dog and cat rescue when you're looking for a new pet. 
Rescues make great pets.

The tulip study was a demonstration in a watercolor class I taught showing the dramatic effects of negative painting around a subject.
