Smokestacks

smokestacks original abstract pastel drawing painting artist janine aykens
"Smokestacks" Pastel 8" x 4"

Small abstract urban landscape in pastel.  Working with a very limited, neutral palette...the suggestion of smoke or maybe fog inspired the title.

The original artwork is available via auction at Daily Paintworks, matted to fit a standard 14" x 11" frame.  Just pop it in a frame and hang; easy-peasy!

Totem

totem original abstract non-objective pastel drawing painting artist janine aykens
"Totem" Pastel 11" x 17"

An original, non-objective/abstract pastel on paper.  The paper I used is designed for use with oil paints, actually, but I thought it offered a nice, subtle texture for pastel.
