Take a Look

I've been painting in soft pastel for over 25 years. Long story short: no room to paint in pastels and an urge to move on. (God given!) I have a staggering pile of over 250 pastel paintings ~ credible, beautiful, fun artwork, bagged up and hidden away in the dark of my art cabinet. Take a look: Paintings for a Song

$2,000.00* 

*Available only at my Albuquerque studio for pick up. I will not ship. Sold as a collection, not individually. If you're in the area, please contact me. I'm making space and have quite a few other art supplies, materials, books, magazines, videos and studio furnishings for sale currently.  

Since several people have asked: NO, I'm not making a total break from pastels. I'll still be using PanPastels, which I'm fascinated by, and I've retained a good selection of sticks in my small plein air box, plus a whole set back stocked. I'm painting with a variety of media, including pastels, as my space has been limited in the last few years. There's no sense having this beautiful selection of pastels sitting in a case in the dark most of the time! Someone might as well use them.
