Medieval

This is inspired by a visit to Mont Saint Michel Abbey in Normandy, France. The monks back in the 13th century knew how to choose a venue!

Getting Going

It's such a delight to see dolphins swimming together. I wanted to depict their sleek motion and gentle strength as they glide to their destination.

Sam is my great-nephew and I adore him. Playing with him on the Lewes beach with the lighthouse in the distance made for a delightful composition.

I love the juxtaposed vibe of bigness and sweetness that elephants seem to exude. Why shouldn't young MaryAnn take a trip?

Bike Bench
Pastel on Paper, 14" X 17", Ellen Powers
The Junction and Breakwater Trail had a bench that I treasured. After a peaceful bike ride I would write Haiku poetry in my head and stare at the trees. Sadly, the bench got a bit rickety and was removed.

The day after Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in 2020, my niece and nephew brought their kids to pay their respects. I was touched by how gentle and serious their body language looked.

Law Breakers

The idea of two kangaroos standing on a cliff being told not to jump came to me in a dream. I wanted them to look perplexed and relieved.

I had such a fun time taking my adorable great-nephew, Noah, to the Guggenheim. He loved the contemporary art. He's a natural art critic too!

Buckley

A dear friend's dog, Buckley, was ill when I drew this picture. I tried to show his warmth and vulnerability. He was a wonderful dog. Oh boy, could he fetch a ball!
