Marécages

This is my oldest artwork that still exists. It's a finger painting that I did in kindergarten. I remember when I did it and I've always liked it.

North Hills Gallery Exhibition with the Austin Pastel Society

Today I dropped off two paintings and helped to hang the Austin Pastel Society (APS) 2nd Annual North Hills Gallery Exhibition. There are a little over 50 paintings and it is a nice show.

Below are the two paintings I entered in the show. A still life "Trois Oranges" and a landscape (or seascape) "Le Rocher Perce III". Both of them are 8 x 10".
