Saludos from La Manzanilla!

As delightful as it is here – sunny and warm, lovely people, beautiful long beach with hardly anyone on it – I have committed to pastel/draw/paint every day. I am determined to continue exploring new directions in my work as well as creating daily paintings. I have a box of soft pastels and six 9 x 12” pieces of Wallis paper (mounted) as well as a number of 6 x 6” pieces ready for daily paintings. I also have a few sheets of good drawing paper, charcoal and some hard pastels with which to experiment.

I have already done a couple of daily paintings and have one to show you. I kinda forgot to take progressive shots so I only have three photos – start, middle and end! I have to say I am really pleased with this piece.

If you are interested in purchasing this pastel, let me know. I’m offering it for $100 just because.  Once it’s in the gallery, it will be $275 (framed).

I will continue to create daily paintings every few days and share some with you.

The new moon approaches and the night sky is illuminated with stars. It takes my breath away.

Thanks for accompanying me on my artistic journey,

~ Gail

PS. Okay, couldn’t help myself…..here’s the beach. You can see how crowded it is!

And here’s a few friends I played Bocce Ball (pronounced botchi ball) with last night on the beach. Yup life here is just soooooo tough.
