Having waited a respectful period so as to not take advantage of a national tragedy, here is my pop art rendering of Michael Jackson, sending us a message from Heaven.

Michael hasn’t looked this way in a long time. I choose to remember him in his prime. Isn’t that the way most of us would prefer to be remembered?

Michael was a performer almost from infancy, and as such, he never had a chance at a normal life. He existed only to entertain us. And that is the best and the worst of the story…

A piece of realism just completed. In general, I update my impressionist works at oregonpainter.tv but I like to keep my general blog readers abreast of my efforts, too!

This pastel painting is 11×15 – the framed size is 16×20. You can also find an earlier, smaller version of this work at oregonpainter.tv along with some of my other impressionist paintings. The photo of this painting does NOT do it justice.

“BEST IN CLASS”
(All works on paper)

UPDATE: This painting was one of two entered in the local county-wide art exhibit. They both won FIRST PLACE in their categories (Portraits on Paper, Landscapes on Paper). This painting also won “Best In Class” for all works on paper.

UPDATE 2: Nestucca Pastel is now owned and proudly displayed by the Riverhouse Restaurant in Pacific City, Oregon. You might enjoy dropping by there to see it.
