Commissioned painting of a dog in pastel

After completing a dog drawing commission, I am busy with this new painting of a handsome malinois.

Some of you might wonder how come I haven't started with the eyes?  I felt that I'd rather begin laying in the messy background first (from the top) then working my way down the ears.  I'll most likely tackle the eyes next only because I hate looking at a ghostly figure for too long.

Daylily Flower Painting in Pastel SOLD!

I love working pastel on velour paper. Here's another variation of the daylily flower from my garden.  Because it produces so many blooms, the plant seems to never stop flowering, even though each individual flower only lasts one day.
