Pastel Gardens

Gazebo measures 16X20 framed.
This started as a full sheet (20X30, or there abouts). When I finished the work, I took it into the photoshop to have a photo taken. When I saw the photo for the first time, I could see that the pillars on the gazebo were extremely crooked. My printer suggested that to save money, I could simply cut the original down to a size he could photocopy directly. So my very large Garden Gazebo, turned out to be only 16X20 Gazebo.

Garden Birdbath measurers 18X24 framed.
This was my first attempt using a full sheet of pastel sandpaper. I had done only three other pastel flowers, all 9X12. This is the pastel version of my Sister's Garden, "if she was to ask her husband to put up a fence." Her garden really does have the two trees, the paths, the chair, and the birdbath, although she plants more in clumps of color rather than rows. Her garden has been a great source of pleasure and inspiration for me. She has a print of this and Sisters Garden in her home.

Just Posies measures 16X20 framed.
This started as a doodle, and grew into this piece. I was just thankful that the paper, although not clean at the time, was large enough to allow me to finish it. This piece turned out to be my printer's favorite card. I learned that not all artwork appropriate for a card is appropriate for hanging on the wall.

Poppies measures 11X14 framed.
Poppies are one of my favorite wild flowers, and I can remember picking bouquets of them for my mother as a child. I had seen a bunch of them blooming on my way to my daughters house, and just had to do a picture of them.
