Pastel and Fog


Taking a break from the large serious paintings I kept myself busy on a chilly evening with little sketches rendered in very pale washes of watercolour.

This one reminds me of a fox spirit.... one of my obsessions.


In the morning a thick fog descended upon the town, shrouding it in a heavy veil of white. I saw a nice corrolation between it and my misty portraits.


I love all the gorgeous pastel architecture here, perhaps it's having more of an influence on me than I initally realised...

  1. I love the pictures of the city in the fog...so romantic! The the east eauropean architecture is absolutely fashinating. No wonder it affects you. :)
    Love your little sketches as much as the more complex works, especially the fox-spirit-like girl. Her gaze reveals a quick mind, indeed worthy of the cute smart mammal.

  2. Oh Moni, I want to live in one of those beautiful buildings.
    Your work has expanded so wonderfully. I think Europe has been so amazingly expansive for you (if you know what I mean).
    Astera, you are so right about the fox-spirit. Trust me, I know!
