This kingfisher with a rose in soft pastels is one of the more popular art pieces from my body of work in 2022. I've only worked with this bird once but I really love the colors so may do another soon.See it in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/kingfisher-and-orange-rose-mm-anderson.html or one of the other sites in my profile.#birds #BirdArt #ArtistsOnMasotdon #MastoArt #kingfisher #PastelArtwork #art #WomenArtists

My recent order from greetingcarduniverse.com/MMAndersonArt arrived today and I am very pleased with the printing of my artwork. In addition to blank any occasion cards, I also design greetings for an array of holidays and occasions. #GreetingCardDesigner #GreetingCards #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #FediGiftShop

'Japanese Honeysuckle Flowers' in soft pastel. The honeysuckle is starting to bloom now where I live. It's a terribly invasive plant here yet the scent always takes me back to early summer evenings growing up in Virginia when the light lingered and we could play outdoors until late or sit on the porch and enjoy family time.See this art in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/japanese-honeysuckle-flowers-mm-anderson.html or one of the other sites in my profile. #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #flowers #FloralArt #CreativeToots #art

This simple red rose pastel artwork was done a few years ago. Roses are one of the most popular flowers anywhere and they are very beautiful, but they aren't necessarily my favorites to work with, or to try to grow in my garden for that matter. They can be a bit fussy.Links to my online galleries may be found in my profile.#PastelArtist #roses #FlowerArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #CreativeToots

Spring flowers fade all too quickly but sometimes they can be preserved in art. This soft pastel artwork depicts a single blossom of forsythia with a green leaf. The yellow of the flower is accentuated with a complementary purple hue.See links in my profile for various websites where my artwork is available on prints and cards.#SpringFlowers #ArtistsOnMastodon #art #FlowerArt #PastelArtist #CreativeToots #MastoArt #FediGiftShop

My pastel work this week is a portrait of a West Highland White terrier. I love the cute floppy ear on this particular dog. It gives him character.See this artwork in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/white-westie-dog-on-blue-mm-anderson.html or one of the other links in my profile. #dogs #MastoArt #CreativeToots #ArtistsOnMastodon #PastelArtist #art

I don't attempt many sea or landscapes in soft pastel although I would like to find time to practice them more often. I did do this piece called 'Atlantic Wave' back in 2018 and was pleased with how it turned out. I feel it captures the energy but also the delicacy of the ocean wave.See this artwork in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/atlantic-wave-mm-anderson.html or one of the other links listed in my profile. #PastelArtist #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #seascape #art #FediGiftShop #ocean

'Cluster of Blueberries with Leaves' is my latest botanical artwork created in soft pastels. I think it turned out well and will make some pretty greeting card designs. It will make some great décor prints as well.See this artwork in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/cluster-of-blueberries-with-leaves-mm-anderson.html #PastelArtist #BotanicalArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #blueberries #CreativeToots

This is a portrait of Peaches done in charcoal pencil on white paper back in 2016. She is a Carolina dog adopted by my sister. Peaches has a unique personality that's a combination of fierce and needy. She absolutely hates thunder and fireworks.See this artwork in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/carolina-dog-charcoal-portrait-mm-anderson.html#DogsOfMastodon #MonDog #drawing #MastoArt #DogPortrait #CarolinaDog #ArtistsOnMastodon

Every now and then I like to work with a subject from mythology like this drawing in charcoal pencil titled "The Ravens of Odin.' These birds were messengers to the Norse god. I tried to impart a look of intelligence in their eyes.See this drawing in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/the-ravens-of-odin-mm-anderson.html or one of the other links in my profile. #drawing #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #art #BirdArt #birds #CreativeToots
