Pastel on terracotta Colourfix sanded paper – 50cm x 70cm The subject with the painting! / During a painting trip to the Tarcombe area of Victoria I met this chap working sheep in his stockyards. It was a very hot day and the intense Australian light was reflecting the red dirt of the yards onto the khaki shirt. The colours in the shirt and battered terry towelling hat intrigued me, particularly the shadow colours. I was very happy with the resulting painting, and so was he – he bought it when he saw it displayed in a local art show.

And Mary said: / “ My soul magnifies the Lord, / And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. / For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; / For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. / For He who is mighty has done great things for me, / And holy is His name. / And His mercy is on those who fear Him / From generation to generation. / He has shown strength with His arm; / He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. / He has put down the mighty from their thrones, / And exalted the lowly. / He has filled the hungry with good things, / And the rich He has sent away empty. / He has helped His servant Israel, / In remembrance of His mercy, / As He spoke to our fathers, / To Abraham and to his seed forever.” / ~Luke 1:46-55 Photomanipulation created in Photoshop CS2.

Pastel on a scrappy piece of brown Canson paper! This painting was a total fluke from a few years ago! I had bought four new Schminke pastels and I wanted to try them out – there was a pale blue, a pale yellow, a creamy colour and a dark brown. I used a scrappy piece of paper left over from another painting and started doodling! The face just emerged, and I thought she looked sort of ‘aloof’ and ‘Art Deco-ish’ I looked through an old book about fashion, and found some drawings of 1920’s headgear. I just added a bit of light here and a bit of dark there, smudged around a bit and there she was! I thought she needed a dangly earring, so I hung what is actually a pendant on the edge of my easel and used that. Amazing how a bit of scribble can turn into something! I won’t part with it, and my son has claimed this painting when I die! ‘Featured’ in1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture and Works On Paper – January 2009 / Finished in the Top 10 of the Melbourne & Victoria Group ‘Art Deco Delights’ challenge – May 2009 / Featured in the Painted Ladies group – June 2009 / Placed 2nd in the Retro Painted Lady challenge in the Painted Ladies group – July 2009 / Featured in Impressionist Art – Sept 2009

Reloaded as it wasn’t showing on activity lists! Having tried to get her to pose for me and failing on the whole, I gave up and she started playing with her NDS… well i grabbed two scarves she has, which were freebies from the local Wok Buffet Restaurant and managed to get them to stay on her head and snapped about 10 shots whilst she was playing, every odd shot I had to say DS down as it was getting higher and higher and was in the picture! Well this is the result and I actually quite like it! Natural light through the window. Aged 8 years. Nikon D40 18-55mm

A portrait of my daughter, Jessica, painted in Pastel. We dressed her in a gown that had been my Mother’s and tried to replicate the era with her hairstyle, makeup and jewelry. This was painted with soft pastels on Canson paper which was a brown color. Hard pastel and pastel pencils were used sparingly where fine lines and details werre needed. 24”x18”

9×12 pastel on Tiziano paper I can’t seem to get “Tangerine” by Led Zeppelin out of my head right now. “The Living reflection of a dream”. What kind of woman inspired those words? Some songs just get lodged in your head and stay there for days and days. Tangerine video link

19×25 pastel on Sennelier La Carte paper FEATURED IN C.O.R.E., FRIENDS OF RED BUBBLE, FIRST THINGS, THE PATCHWORK, AND THE SISTERHOOD / She has been sitting on my easel for the longest time. I finally got inspired to finish her. I made her a lot bigger than the others in the series, so that should appease her for me taking so long on her. / She is the Spirit of the North Wind. It is the wind of Winter and of death, but also of rebirth. She gives us the wisdom to overcome death and to know it is not the end. We must walk through the Northern gate at the end of this life and she will be the one to usher us through. Listen to cold Winter wind, and let her help you release your fears into the darkness of the night. Also from the Series

9×12 pastel on Sennelier la carte paper FEATURED IN PAINTED LADIES, PETS AND PEOPLE, FIRST THINGS, FEMININE INTENT, AND THE DIVINE FEMININE I had so much fun drawing Barbara, but it is a lot of work trying to do portraits. I needed to do something completely from my imagination. And of course I can’t call it Blackbird without linking to the song!

Pastel on Colourfix sanded paper (burgundy) – 50cm x 35cm / (Painted entirely with soft pastel and blended with fingers) Straight from my easel to RedBubble!!!! I have been slogging away at this portrait for the past 3 days and had definite intentions of ripping it up and starting all over again! When I left my studio on Saturday and strolled through the gloom of the bush to get home I was feeling quite despondent, but when I looked at it again with fresh eyes on Sunday it wasn’t too bad after all! So I soldiered on with the ‘assistance’ of Mervyn (my pet cockatoo) for company in my studio. He turned a piece of Colourfix into papier mache behind my back, crept up the leg of my easel and snaffled a pastel, and added some more details to his ‘work in progress’ beak carving (he is using one of my floorboards as his ‘medium’ for this masterpiece)! / Anyhow – this is the chap that does the statistics during my son’s footy matches, and I promised his wife I would do his portrait one day, and the day has come! The leather hat and the Drizabone coat had to be included. I hope he likes the final result. I’m happy with it.

Kali
by MoonSpiral9×12 pastel on Sennelier paper Just a quick little sketch I did for fun at the expense of our dear, sweet Linaji. When Linaji requested I do a Kali I don’t think this is exactly what she had in mind. When I saw the picture she posted of herself chowing down on that dog I just couldn’t resist. I hope she doesn’t employ the wrath of Kali upon me for doing this!

This is my entry into the Jessica Walker challenge in Bubbler Portraits. I used Jessica’s self portrait Ice Queen as a reference. / When I saw Jessica’s portrait I thought of the White Witch in Narnia. I wanted to do this as a big acrylic painting, but got anxious to do it….and so it’s pastel. Maybe I will paint it someday. Laminated Print / Medium sized framed print /
