Two Smaller Pastel Paintings
A lot of my pastel paintings are both larger and more complicated than these.
Destination Assured (New Pastel Painting)
This painting is about my deeply held belief that we all will arrive.
Lengthening Our Days (New Abstract Conceptualist Painting in Pastel)
At first, I thought of it literally about the days getting longer as spring approaches, but while I was painting, I came to see that it is also about “lengthening our days” in the longevity sense.

This is the second in my annually painted series assessing the global warming situation.

Sometimes you need to change your plans and it’s all about a graceful pivot.

The conceptualist topic for this piece was inspired by the book Klara and the Sun.
