Beach Vendors

Two beach vendors that I saw many years ago in Mazatlan. I saw a chance to do two separate pictures that could stand alone or be hung together.

For Sale
These are framed with a black matt, black frame and non glare glass. Each picture is US$150 each or US$275 for the two.

Unfinished Dance

I really wanted to do another dancing picture! However this is not one of my most successful attempts!

Firstly I wanted to do this on three sheets of paper as wanted to get into the details.
The pose I chose was not easy as the female dancer was a lot smaller than the male, which I thought was charming and interesting.

This picture is as far as I could take this pastel. It represents many hours of work.
I even attempted the faces a second time which was worse than this! So this is an unfinished picture. I eventually had to give up from pure frustration. Maybe at a later time I will try again, but I felt that I had to move on and feel good about something else!

Comments would be helpful!

Mexican Rooster

I spent a huge amount of time when we arrived in Mexico on our apartment as we were renting a new place.

My neighbor and friend who is also an artist from Toronto had just finished a Rooster when we arrived, which I really enjoyed. So I thought this was a good way to get back into the pastel world.

Somehow my imagined Rooster seemed to take on a character of its own. Where we are living is a very Mexican area and we have many roosters around but they don’t seem to stay still for very long!
