I did a study on regular Canson paper and then a larger one on sanded paper. I’ve been reading Carlson’s book about painting landscapes and it’s really helping me a lot.

Leaning In, pastel painting of a tree in the winter forest
Walking in the woods with the doggies and came across this big boy leaning over the road like he’s a boss or something. I take my life lessons where I can find them.

Morning Glory, pastel painting of a sunrise through the trees
Sometimes you don’t have to go any farther than your own front yard for inspiration. Glinda had it right!

Who Goes There? pastel painting of a path through the winter woods
When I was walking along one of the many two track roads in the Manistee National Forest I was spooked by a rustling in the trees. Turned out to be a deer! I’m sure he was more nervous than I was since he was all alone and not accompanied by two pooches!

Sun Peeking, pastel painting of the sun through the trees
I love walking in the woods on a winter morning, especially just as the sun is coming through the trees. The sky is all kinds of peach colored and the light looks like stained glass to me. Beautiful!

Sunrise-pastel painting of a snow covered house in the woods
Luckily, on days when it’s too cold outside to paint I can look out my own window and watch the sun come up!

On the Bank, pastel painting of a bend in the river
I love this bend in the river. I stand on the bank and look down on the water flowing by. It’s very peaceful and makes me grateful to live where I do.

Little Cabin-pastel painting of a snow-covered cottage in the woods
Even though I was snowed in for a week I still had a view of this pretty little cabin in the woods right outside my window!

Fresh Snow-pastel painting of a path through the woods in winter
This painting is based on a walk down a two-track road in the winter time. There was deep, fresh snow all along the two-track road and a pale blush of peach just over the trees on the horizon. I love walking in the Manistee National Forest with my dogs. It inspires my work.
