Beginnings are MAGIC!

49 color sketches, each 3 x 4, on BFK
Notan done from life at the Refuge
At the beginning of something new, everything is possible. Anything can happen. Giddy optimism and buckets full of energy to throw at paper and paint and see where it goes. In my own mind goes the phrase, "Once upon a time ..." and I am rapt. Poised on the fringe between reality and imagination that could go anywhere, I am fishing for stars with a feather boa, riding a giraffe who sings baritone and it is all possible.

Yes, beginnings are magic!

Pick your favorite!

Shortcut
9 x 9
pastel on Bristol

successful project!

I have loved this self-imposed project, but it feels like I have taken it as far as I want to for now. Pastels are cleaned and put away. Time to look over the group of completed paintings and pick out my favorites. What do you think? 

Do you have a favorite painting from the group of 18?
