Two paintings

This is the second attempt. I painted this on mi-Tients-touch 
This was painted on a board that I primed  with gesso and pumice. However it warped and was impossible to frame.
So I painted the scene again.
Cedar key painting.

Today's pastel class

After four weeks of sharing new pastel techniques with OAKRUN students, I felt there was progress for me as a teacher and for them as students.
Here are some of my demos and their paintings.
 Could see a real effort to work from dark to light as well as light areas .
Here are some of my demos

Other efforts

Direction

I need to turn around...look at the direction my art needs to take. When a door closes, and I do think doors are closing...my ability to teach classes and show my work has begun to change.
These are paintings I have done this past week.
Shalom park allows me to try the news skills I learned in the two workshops taken this past March in St.George Island. The second painting is from my time on the island...it is a watercolor.
I can see things I need to do in both. Do I have the discipline to tweak and push to finish?
