Neighborhood Chickens

I painted this during the Hudson Valley Plein Air Festival.
These chickens belong to my neighbor, but they hang out in our yard.
I have grown quite fond of them.

Female Textures

I have created a variety of textures by making a rough surface with pastel emulsion.
After I prepped the paper with emulsion, I let it dry. I painted the figure using charcoal, pastels, ink, and collage. The finished painting has a sculptural quality.

Whiteface Mountain Chinese Style

This was painted during the Adirondack Plein Air Festival.
 I used an ink calligraphy pen and watercolors on an Aqua Board.
Whiteface Mountain is truly amazing!
