Latest series of pastels on paper, this is a group of pastels in the last 4 years-it was from being on the road selling insurance. I noticed people outside and I captured moments that I saw.
I am in the process of doing a new series of pastels from the city.

Pastels of Backyard Studies
This pastel of a man standing at the doorway of a small house in East Texas. This is from my short career selling insurance.

An original pastel of a small pond and a gazebo somewhere in east Texas in my travels selling insurance.

The walker- a quick pastel sketch of a man walking in East Texas.
Original mixed media-oil pastels, pastel brought out the flames of the yellows.
This is a sketch I created of a balcony in Florida Panhandle, notice the window is understated and allows the interior to dominate the scene.
All of these original pastels were created from the last four years of travel and are meant to be quick studies.
