garden pastels


Iris Buds
9 x 12" pastels on colored paper

My iris bed is in full bloom...I read Charles Hawthorne notes to students last night. I am trying to work with color and shape. The negative positive (figure/ground) issues in iris beds are a delight.




Maggie's Dianthus bed
9 x 12" pastel on colored paper
I see this bed from my kitchen window, over the sink. The little red flowers are charming.
