Tiger in the Window by Charlotte Yealey

Pastel

This little pastel is a memory of my cat, Tiger, and how he use to sit in the window and watch the world go by. This is pastel on Colourfix paper.

"House Sparrow"

12x16

Oil

This cute little house sparrow was on the mop false cypress bush outside my kitchen window one morning when I photographed him. He was making sure the feeder was safe because a hawk attacked his friends a couple weeks ago while they were eating. We have not had much activity at the feeder since then.

Auodad Sheep demo painting

                                                                         

13x15

Acrylic and colored pencil on illustration board

This is my most recent painting of a Auodad Sheep. He is a resident of the Catoctin Zoo where I photographed him years ago but just recently decided to paint this for a demo in my colored pencil class. I showed my students how colored pencil can be used with many other mediums.

                                         I think I found  another favorite medium combination.

Accepted in National Canine Show

2012 Has really been good so far!

I heard today that my 2 paintings "Waiting Whippet" an oil painting and "Ibizan Hound Pup" a watercolor painting both have been accepted into "The Art Show at the Dog Show" a National canine art show in Wichita, Kansas. I am thrilled to get 2 paintings in this show again this year. The judging will not be until March 6.

Relics by Charlotte Yealey

15x20

Acrylic and Colored Pencil

I am not sure if this painting actually shows the idea I had in my mind when I started it but it does raise a few questions for the viewer. Is the dog patiently waiting to follow someone on a bike ride or are these three relics  (the old dog and two old style bicyles) forgotten in this new age?

"Zebra Look" Accepted into Explore This 8

I was notified that this painting called "Zebra Look" was accepted into the Colored Pencil Society of America's annual international exhibit called "Explore This 8". This is an acrylic and colored pencil painting on illustration board. I completed this last year and entered it into the York Art Association's 41st annual Juried show and during the juring, it was declined. Then I entered it into the Hanover Area Arts Guild fall show and it won "Best of Show".
This is my second entry that was accepted into the Colored Pencil Society of America's show. The last one was in 2009 and it was called "Horse's in the Snow". Art competitions can be sometimes  disappointing and also rewarding.

Red Fox Encounter

18x42

Oil

I have been working on this oil painting since November in between commissions and all my other activities and I have finally decided it was finished. I am not sure if I like the photo I have taken and might try to photograph it again. Painting wolves and foxes are similar to painting dogs so I challenge myself to try to paint them in their natural enviornment. Send inquires to charlotteswebart@comcast.net
