Fine Art in Colored Pencils & Pastels
The artwork on this website represents Reflections From Life - scenes that I have seen in day to day life. I try to recreate the beauty, wonder, and reality of life in pastel and colored pencil paintings.
Although you will find an assortment of galleries within this website, my main
areas of interest are Portraiture (both people & pets) and
inspirational artwork.
Please feel free to wander through this site, stroll through the galleries, sneak a peek at what is Currently on My Easel, consider a commission or a purchase for yourself, and even drop me a note. I hope that, whatever you do while you are here, you at least enjoy your visit.
My Art Blog - I post tutorials, current artwork, features, etc., so please be sure to follow along with me on this adventure!! Currently, I have five articles posted. Also, if you would like to subscribe to my blog, you may do so by scolling all the way to the bottom of the blog and clicking on "Subscribe to: Posts (Atom)," then follow the directions.
Inspirational Series - I have completed three paintings for this series and I am currently working on my fourth one. The names of the three completed pieces are:
"Gazing Toward Heaven" (sold)
, The Power of a Praying Child", and
"The Handmaid of the Lord."
Animal Portraiture Commissions - I am expanding my animal portraiture business beyond that of pets. I will create a portrait or a full body painting of a wild animal, such as a lion, tiger, etc., if an individual so desires. I will also provide the reference material myself. Anyone interested can send me an email at npingree001@yahoo.com and we can discuss it.
Portraits of People - I also take commissions for portraits of people. I prefer to be able to do a photo shoot with the subject(s) myself. That way I have a chance to get to know the subjects and can better portray them in a painting. Please see my link to commissions for more information.
