The 'Mussel Shells & Lusterware' still life is ready for framing, and I have two works in progress here. These are each in different stages. The little 6 by 10 inch 'Cherries In a Teacup' is still quite rough, but the gray Pastelbord has been completely covered. I will continue layering and refining to finish it. The portrait, 'Ella & The Cosmos', whose detail I'm showing here, is much larger, at 16 by 20 inches. There is still a lot of bare gray board showing, with some of my early, sketchy layers, but the face is much further along.
I am busily and excitedly preparing for a one-person show this fall, at The Firehouse Center For The Arts in Newburyport, Massachusetts. More on that later!

Three beautiful pieces, Liz! I love the lighting in 'Mussel Shells & Lusterware'.
Thanks Holly!
Can you tell my favorite spots for still life set-ups are an east window in the morning and a west window in the afternoon?
Hey Liz! It's been awhile since we've spoken! I love the warmth of the wood in the Mussels and Lusterware piece. You handled that beautifully.
Good luck on your show. Please keep us all posted.
Hi Dianna! Thank you. Those boards were taken out of an unfinished part of my 110 year old house in the process of making a new studio space!
Wonderful new works. The pencil work has such a nice soft feel and I love the backgrounds and the looseness of the pencil strokes. Maybe I can get to your show!
Thanks so much Kendra, and I hope you can visit Newburyport and see the show!
