Unless noted otherwise, each piece has been sprayed with a mat or satin fixative. Artwork on illustration board or paper has more board or paper than the image size (eg: an 8x10 drawing on a 9x11 piece of paper), unless the description indicates the artwork has been trimmed.

Withering Narcissus I am fascinated by the interesting shapes that narcissus flowers take on as they fade. Many flowers, like iris, just become a blob, but narcissus twist and become paper dry like onion skin. My husband thinks it is a bit macabre to be painting dead or dying flowers. Maybe I've been listening to too much grunge. . . maybe not. This pastel was painted live (not from a photo). This will NOT be sold as a print or on merchandise. Created on heavy black Stonehenge paper. Sold |
