This pastel painting "Rusty Creek" 12 x 24 is in the Women Artists of the West show in the McBride Gallery in Annapolis, Maryland.  It will be shown there until the end of January.  What an honor to have my painting featured in a National Show with the talented Women Artists of the West!

I was very happy when Senator Michael Bennet selected this pastel painting for his Conference Room two years ago, and even happier this year when they decided to keep it there!
Sometimes when you paint things just fall into place and it's like they almost paint themselves!
This was the case with this painting.  I used a large sheet of Wallis Belgian Mist paper (which is no longer made, darn it) and it just worked out like it was meant to be.
