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!

Emma’s reading tree. All lush and green! A beautiful blue sky.

Working a simple vase in blue/ blue purple as an exercise. Practicing blending layers with colored pencil. Need to get those shadows darker so they work yet still cast blue. So far.

I will get there. I woke up to creating dappled sunlight. Just an area wthe rays coming d own. I was debating the colors to get the image just right.

Today I shall begin with tge above image and the work on a oil pastel.

Niw to work the next layer. Work in the sunlight coming through. Perhaps this is why I dreamed of dappled light.

Having fun with the Red Bellied Woodpecker. He is loving the peanuts and strawberries and blueberries. He comes and calls out a repeating Cha, cha, cha. I mimicked him and got wobbly trill in return! He will come up to the sliding doors and peer in.

Best wishes! Pejj
