Portraits

My Friend Cathy
Marty and Chum
My Friend Cathy

This is a pastel on masonite prepared with gesso and Golden's Acrylic Ground for pastels.I loved the backlighting and all her brushes in the foreground.

Marty and Chum

This is a pastel on Wallis paper. Her husband-to-be, Stan asked me to do this portrait of Marty in her wedding dress holding her beloved cat, Chum.

 

Cathy and her Mom

Cathy and Doris

This is a portrait of my best friend Cathy (also above) and her mother, Doris. Cathy is a wonderful artist living in Kansas City, Missouri. We both grew up down the street from each other in Lenexa, Kansas. Little did we know back in the 60's that we would both grow up with such a passion for art.

 

Pat and Allis

This is a pastel on masonite prepared with gesso and Golden's Acrylic Ground for pastels. This is my husband Pat on our 1954 Allis Chamers tractor.

At the Parade

This is also a pastel on masonite and prepared the same as Pat and Allis. This is my mom and dad at the Gardner, Kansas parade.

 

Roll Call at Shalom

Mary K. Meyer
March 9, 1930-February 5, 2007

This is a pastel on Wallis paper. I am very lucky to have known Mary K. from Shalom House. She touched and continues to touch so many lives.

Wayne's Plane

I did this portrait several years ago. It recently came back to me with a request to change three things Wayne had replaced on his plane. Can you find them?

Darcy's Kids

I met Darcy when she bid on my portrait gift certificate donated to the Johnson County Young Matrons Auction.

This is Peggy's first grandchild, a present to Raechelle, her daughter.
