This is a blog to share my love of painting and drawing. Daily practice isn't always possible, but it remains the best way to make consistent progress.

Orange Slices - 9" x 12" Pastel
Painting with my friend Nancy was so much fun today...we painted a simple still life with some mellow jazz playing, and then Nancy, who is an amazing cook, made homemade minestrone, bread, and flan for lunch. It really doesn't get better than this.
Wow, this is fine. You captured this delicate light key so well. The strokes are fun and the translucency really comes through on those slices. Amazing!
Hi! If you're interested in any of my paintings, or a commission, email me. I love to paint portraits of people and animals, and other subjects with special meaning.

I spent hours drawing with my artist dad when I was a kid. Decades later, I’m still happiest in front of an easel.
I experiment and explore various media, and subjects vary. I draw and paint from life – people on location, models in the studio, ‘en plein air’ in until winter comes.
Each day in the Litchfield Hills brings new ideas: a blue-violet snow shadow, rocks on the shoreline; a barn lit by afternoon light; an interesting gesture …
Recently, printmaking has added a new dimension to my art practice. I love the happy accidents that occur with each printed monotype.
I’ve been fortunate to study with many talented artists, who have helped to advance my skills, including Melanie Reim, Dean Fisher, Patti Mollica and Anthony Kirk.
Art is a never-ending journey. My goal is to say more with less, with marks and brushstrokes that are bold, loose and confident. Onward!
I live in Goshen, CT with my husband, and a rescue dog named Cassie. Thanks for visiting!

Luminescent, luscious, delicious. Wonderful painting.
Really nice sense of light in this one. Love the broken color in the areas outside the center of interest.
The translucence of the slices is wonderful. nice job.
Such exquisite luminousity! Great job, Rhonda!
You grabbed me with this. absolutely right on. Love the light shining through the slices.
Wow, this is fine. You captured this delicate light key so well. The strokes are fun and the translucency really comes through on those slices. Amazing!
Your pastel work is very skilled. These oranges are so luminous! You're giving me a yearning for my soft pastels, which I haven't used in some time.
