Mesquite Leaves al Fresco 8" X 6" oil on canvasboard SOLD

                                                                             

One of our favorite animals in the desert area we live in south of Tucson is the Cottontail Rabbit. In the mornings they wander the neighborhoods looking for food and water. My husband was on HIS morning walk when he spotted this little one feasting on some mesquite leaves. The rabbit would grab the branch and pull it to himself so he could nibble.

The Shell Seekers 9" X 12" Pastel

                                                                             

The coastal towns of central California -Monterey and Pacific Grove - are wonderfully scenic and a great environment for enjoyment and for learning. People climb the rocks looking for shells or enjoying the tidepools that are teaming with life. We watched these two young ladies climb all over several formations fascinated with every nook and crevice.

I was a wee bit tired of rocks when I finished, but enjoyed the many different colors found in the rocks themselves. Wallis pastel paper has a heavier grit for the pastel to cling to than most other papers for pastel. I use it whenever I have a subject that is highly textured such as these...rocks.
