"Bear Creek Path" by Astrid Paustian

Pastel, 11" x 15", sold.
Thinking of summer walks and plein air painting. Will bring out the colorful pastel sticks for some quick, loose sketches. It is always a lot of fun.
I enjoy switching back and forth between mediums. It changes the approach and adds a fresh new perspective.

"Red Poppies" by Astrid Paustian

Oil on canvas panel, 11" x 14", sold.
Flowers are such a welcome sight after the long Winter months. Poppies won't be blooming for another 2 months, and, sadly, they don't last very long. So it's good to have some photographs and paintings on hand.
This painting has been sold, but many more Poppies, flower paintings, landscapes and bird paintings of mine are currently on display at the Art Center of Estes Park.
