Tulips and Tumbler

"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.

Still Life with Tulips (Orange and Blue)

"Still Life with Tulips (Orange and Blue)" Pastel 6" x 6"

This small, contemporary still life was created with soft pastel on Ampersand Aquabord, a panel made for working in watercolor.  (That is the brand name, hence the misspelling of "board.")  I thought the textured surface might work well for pastel, and I was not disappointed.  I do love working on my homemade surfaces, but sometimes it's nice to change things up...

A giclee reproduction print of this work is available at my Etsy shop, or click to bid on the original artwork up for auction.  The artwork is matted and ready to pop into a standard 11" x 14" frame.
