Introduction
This site is a way to share my paintings and my artistic journey.
I work predominantly in Oil Pastels, which is a largely unknown medium for painting. Oil Pastels are sticks of creamy, vibrant color. I had been working with oil paint in tubes for the last few years. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get the rich colors that I craved with oil paint. The harder I tried, the faster I seemed to mix colors into mud! 
I have been working in Oil Pastels for almost a year. And have been doing so much more painting because I am so much happier with the outcome.
Last month I submitted three paintings to the First Annual Oil Pastel Society Show. The Oil Pastel Society, an international artist organization, put this show together. The show, containing 88 paintings from around the world, displays the great versatility of the oil pastel medium.
I was awarded an Honorable Mention for my entry entitled “Gazing out to Sea”.
