some really nice small works of art....

'A New Hat' by Margaret Dyer

Margaret's got some beautiful pastels on auction. I want them all. Take a look when you have a minute.

'Lilacs on the Corner' by Christopher Greco

I like Christopher Greco's paintings and his prices are really reasonable. He sells his work directly from his website/blog. He always paints a variety of subjects, and I love that.

'Bulb Vase No. 3' by Neil Hollingsworth

Neil's auctioned paintings are always outstanding. Every one of them.

Margaret Dyer's Art

When I was in my mid 20's, I made a promise to myself that as soon as I had some extra money in my pocket, I'd buy a pastel painting by Margaret Dyer. It took until I was around 31, but I did it and I bought two. They are the two most prized possessions I have. I love everything Margaret paints. She has been a major influence on the way I see the figure and color.

I wanted to mention Margaret is offering her beautiful pastels on auctions on eBay - what a great opportunity for any of us to collect some of her work. Part of me wants to keep it a secret, so I can be the highest bidder on some of these awesome pieces - but she deserves the best and I wanted to put in a good word for her.
