Pastel Portrait Drawing with Charcoal

"Lady with a Hood" 7x8 done in soft pastel on Canson Pastel Paper copyright DWeaver Art ©

Back in 2011 I completed this drawing in soft pastels.  I had purchased a set of Jack Richeson & Co., Inc. from a local Hobby Lobby.  The set of pastels came in a quanity of 48.  This is one of the first soft pastel drawing I had done and after I completed this I was very pleased.  I had self taught myself to draw in soft pastel and no formal training.  I used a cotton swab and my fingers to blend in the different colors.  Till this day I continue to use Jack Richeson & Co., Inc. soft pastels.  Thank you for viewing and reading my blog.

Acylic Painting of Lightning and Full Moon

"Moon Lightning" done in acrylic 12x16 copyright DWeaver Art ©

For as long as I remember being fascinated with weather, I have always thought that lighting in a distance during a full moon night is totally amazing.  It just captivates me.  My attention is instantly anchored on the beautiful night time sky.  I love clear starry nights where there is a full moon with it.  However, when there is lightning with that beautiful starry moon light sky it make the sky truly amazing.  This is my inspiration for doing "Moon Lightning".  This painting is an expression of my passion for weather and art.
