Allegra

I love the way oil paint goes down on Ampersand Pastelbord. There are more of these panels in my inventory so guess what they'll be used for!

Odelia

Odelia has grown an impressive set of horns, but uses them with discretion!

Lucy

Her name is not  inspired by "I Love Lucy", although I was intrigued by her pensive gaze. Her namesake was a woman who remained steadfast to her beliefs.

Jerome

I found a treasure trove of Pastelbord during my most recent studio de-cluttering and remembered how much fun it was to work on this surface. Even if the painting is a disaster, I can wash it off and gesso over it for an oil painting. And it doesn't get wavy no matter how much water I use!
