Some of my own art is on display
CSI cable has a collection of four pastel paintings of mine on display in its gallery area. The four are of flowers, which I rarely paint. As a portraitist on canvas and sculptor of the human head and body in clay, stone and bronze, I rarely venture beyond my area of training. These four are an exception.By Sharon Cox , March 04, 2010
