Broken Beauty

I used pastels to create this painting of a sunflower.  It has been quite a while since I have used pastels and I experimented using broken color to create movement throughout the painting.

I have been away from my blog for a long time!  Thought I might update it with this colored pencil drawing of a camel I did for my 2013 Christmas card.  It was accepted to hang at the Del Mar Fair this year.  Camels have always been comical to me with their long legs and protruding lips.  They do have beautiful eyes that give them an endearing quality. I think I have captured that in this drawing.
