Back in action with pastels!

Over the past few months, I've been taking pastel classes at a local art center. Using a print of a painting as my reference by mouth artist Mariusz Maczka called Floral Brilliance, I re-created the artwork in pastels -- thus re-acclimating myself to pastels after having not used them for over 30 years (yikes!!!).

 

 

 

 

Maczka's artwork is stunning, especially knowing that he painted his original all by mouth...simply amazing. More info on Maczka can be found here: http://www.vdmfk.com/unsu/vdmfk-mednarodno/umetniki-po-svetu/po-drzavah.html?tx_kuenstlerdb_pi1%5Bartist%5D=609&tx_kuenstlerdb_pi1%5Bmode%5D=DETAIL

 

Thanks for the inspiration Maczka. I'm humbled by your talent.

Sparkle Magazine Illo - "A Change of Heart"

Creating illustrations for Sparkle magazine are always enjoyable. This one called "A Change of Heart" depicts a sister who is feeling as though everything is unfair. The story starts with her brother getting to open a box holding a butterfly chrysalis that they found a few weeks earlier.

The final illustration:
