Kim Werfel's Art Journal: Gypsy
http://kim-werfel.blogspot.com/2015/02/gypsy.html
Saturday, February 14, 2015. While visiting my frame shop on Halloween, I snapped a photo of one of the costumed employees and finally got around to painting her pastel portrait. I decided to use my new favorite surface, suede mat board, but this one was a dark gray.much harder (I found out) to make light creamy skin tones on! Gypsy", 15" x 20", pastel ©Kim Werfel. This surface is not forgiving and I doubt if I will ever do another portrait on the dark color. Thanks for following my blog!

Kim Werfel's Art Journal: Woodland Bunny
http://kim-werfel.blogspot.com/2015/06/woodland-bunny.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. You never know when inspiration for your next painting will come from. While walking my bichon frise Summer one morning, my neighbor stopped to show me a photo of a rabbit that we believe has been eating our flowers. It hasn't been proven in court yet, but the evidence is stacking up. She got a good close-up as he was right outside her window. When I asked to paint him, she generously sent me her photo. After cropping in and playing with color I came up with "Woodland Bunny". Http:...

Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Collies are just beautiful and a delight to paint. These two lived together in Massachusetts, where Mollie (on the right) passed away. I met Skipper and his Dad after they migrated south here to North Carolina. Dad wanted to remember them together, so I worked from his photo to capture a moment in time forever. Skipper and Mollie, pastel, 16"x20"©2014. I've completed another commission.will tell you about it soon, so stay tuned! Interested in having a custom artwork of your own?

Wednesday, October 22, 2014. This piece is from a photo I took at Apex Park, NC a few years ago. I love that park and used to walk a path around a large man-made pond, about a mile and a half long. Finally had a free moment to paint something for me instead of a commission (not that I'm complaining! The result is this piece.which I'll call Swans for lack of something better. Swans" pastel, 19"x12"©KimWerfel. Thank you for following my blog. Links to this post. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. I guess my art ...
