Daisies

daisies contemporary floral still life pastel artist janine aykens
"Daisies" Pastel 4" x 8"
A small, contemporary floral in pastel on primed foam core.  This piece was drawn from life, if you can believe that!  Yes, clearly I had my way with it...

The original is available for purchase via Daily Paintworks auction.  It is conveniently matted to 11" x 14", so all you need to do is pop it into a standard frame and it's ready to display!

"Tulips and Tumbler" Pastel 4" x 6"

Small, contemporary still life in pastel, featuring a vase of flowers next to a tumbler.  The glassware, not the gynmast...

I've framed this piece in a find from the thrift store, and it is now up for auction at Daily Paintworks.

Little Pink House

little pink house original abstract drawing painting artist janine aykens
"Little Pink House" Pastel 5" x 3"

This little abstract piece began as a sort of monoprint.  I was working on another piece and got a little overzealous on the fixative, so I figured I'd soak up some of it with a primed bit of foam core...the resulting stain inspired this piece.

The original art may be purchased at my Etsy shop, all matted and ready to frame!
