Now working

Well, the website is now working. After trying again the next morning to upload photos, I emailed the webmaster; he said to try again, and it worked. So, maybe it wasn't that I was doing something wrong afterall. I am posting one more of the oil pastels that I am enjoying doing so much. I am working on a series of small paintings, impressionistic and non-objective, to show my love for nature, especially the coast which I am afraid more than ever may be a vanishing landscape.

Website

I have spent most of the afternoon trying to update my website and haven't been able to upload my pictures! This is so frustrating!!! I think I am following the directions, and I have been able to do this before now, so what am I doing wrong? My usual solution after I have tried something numerous times and failed is to give up until tomorrow, and sometimes a miracle happens and it works the next time I try. So I have decided to write a blog for today and send a picture here. Guess what - it worked here!

I have just returned from another time at the beach! I have been working on several small oil pastels with bird images in them. I am working with a rather abstract painting with just a hint of a recognizable image, and I do love all the shore birds found at the coast of South Carolina so this seems to work for me. I am trying to do a series of about twenty paintings in this size which will be 12" x 12" framed. I am seeing a connection between the style with the oil pastels and the palette knife acrylics - hovering between abstraction and non-objective.
