Revenue stream goals for 2024: (1) The creation of 12 pastel still life’s. Below is one example of my work so far. The plan is to create and pick from the best when 12 or more are completed. (2) other revenue stream goals will be paintings in one or more of the following mediums: oil, watercolor or gouache. It’s been a while as my focus has been on Shibui Found Image Art. A pivot is a good thing as I write about Shibui. I am loving Paul Rembrandt pastels. The colors are amazing.

It’s been since 1994 that I have had fun with the pastels. I began Shibui 2011. A lot happened after that. I have my new home in my cottage studio and just now feel I am underway! A new easel awaits me! Varooooom! Or perhaps its “Let’s move it! Move it! Move it! More like that! I love claiming my Boho cottage studio!

Good Morning Sunshine!

I love photography! Love playing with it too. This time I plan to do a pastel self-portrait with this image. I always say I am not going to do self-portraits and end up doing them for other people. Why is that. Or an oil painting, hey both?

What form of art have you not used in a bit? I am being called back to pastels and oils.

I played with this image at the same time. Note: The images were not done in 2012. They were taken after; I must have had that date as watermark with other works.

I think the program was Picasa3. They do not support it, but it does some nice things. Like transferring photos to sketches, makes it easy to find the lines I want.
