Imagine the amount of wine necessary to say this about a man who couldn’t make money off a casino.

...like me! 😜 #buyartfromlivingartists #saynotoaiart #buyartfromartists

Yay! Spring has sprung! Until they start blooming in my yard, I have this - "Promise of Spring" 8" x 10" pastel #pastelart #pastelartist #capecodartist #tulips #tulippainting #tuliplover #pastelmat_clairefontaine #terryludwigpastels #floralart #tulipsinavase #whitetulipsbouquet

TBH, I kind of thought my 60s would be about painting & making cool instead of thinking about my response to an impending invasion.

"All Decked Out," 12" x 9" pastel. From a photo I took this winter in Provincetown, MA. #provincetownma #pastelpainting #shadowandlight #nocturnepainting #christmasinprovincetown #holidaysinprovincetown #holidaylights #terryludwigpastels #cansonvelvetpaper #jackrichesonpastels #blueearthpastels

Just another lazy Sunday morning… #lazysundays #letsleepingdogslie #lablove #labradorretrievers #snoringdogs

Shadowy things happening in the Provincelands today… #provincelands #provincetownma #februaryshadows #snowfencing #wintersun

"Flip and Turn" 9" x 16" pastel. Dreaming of warm sunny beach days! #wavepainting #pastelart #oceanart #beachart #crashingwaves #waveartist #marineart #oceanpainting #waves #capecodbeaches #summerdreaming

"Under the Orange Umbrella," 12" x 9" pastel. I loved the orange glow cast on the folks hanging out under the umbrella, and the brilliant light on the figures who were partially underneath. #santafenewmexico #pastelpainting #pastelart #pastelartist #figurepainting #shadowandlight

Happy Valentines Day! Pastel done from life, from a Valentines Day bouquet my husband gave me a few years ago. #happyvalentinesday #capecodartist #pastelart #pastelartist #floralpainting #pastelpainting #redroses

On my easel today- a pastel of a sunny beach as an antidote to the cold snowy dreary day. Still a ways to go on the sand. #onthedustyeasel #pastelpainting #beachscene #oceanart #wavepainting #sunnybeachday

I'm thrilled that my pastel "Provincetown Dusk" was selected to be part of The Salmagundi Club juried exhibition "Into the Night: Nocturnes." The exhibit runs from January 28 - February 14 in SCNY's Rockwell Gallery, 47 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY. There is a reception on February 6, 6-8pm.

My efforts tonight painting our wonderful model RaSh’aan - an enjoyable way to spend a frigid Tuesday evening! #pastelportrait #pastelartist #paintingfromlife #portraitpainting

Experimenting with Colourfix Velour paper. I usually use pastels on sanded paper or Pastelmat. The velour is very smooth and doesn't hold many layers of pastel. It's also hard layering light over dark. PanPastels work well on it. Having said that, I'm happy with what's happening here so far!

These 2 paintings of mine,"The Pursuit of Happiness" and "Shadow Dancing", are part of the Cultural Center of Cape Cod exhibit "Fresh Perspectives." The show runs until February 4 at the Cultural Center, 307 Old Main Street, South Yarmouth, MA.
