The Male Nude

The Male Nude, Pastel and Oil on Paper, 9x12

This is painted on watercolor paper with pastel and oil paint. I think the texture shows nicely! You can find this on my Etsy shop, too.

Paintin' Pretty - New Collage Work

Cherry Sundae, Mixed Media and Acrylic Collage

I wanted to work large, and here's a big piece - 36" x 48." Yes, it says mixed media, and a run-down of the specifics look like this:

• Acrylic Paint
• Pastel
• Charcoal
• Enamel
• Gel Medium
• Acrylic Collage Application

...and lots of sanding to reveal the layers beneath. Everything's varnished to protect the looser mediums like the pastel and charcoal.

Take a closer look in my Etsy shop (you can browse more works there, too!).

Let Pastel Take a Turn

"Summertime" Pastel on blue paper

Let the blue be the midtones - I love these contrasts. Seen here in my Etsy shop: "Summertime" drawings of women

After the Kiss

This is one of the first paintings I sold online. It's now available as a print (Here's the link to my "Prints" page on Etsy: CGallaFineArt, Prints) and I think it will always be a favorite of mine. These little watercolors have always been my best sellers.
