I feel a kinship with the world's first artists who drew on cave walls with pieces of pigment or charcoal. I create landscapes en plein air as well as studio work. Animals are a favorite subject, perhaps because I grew up on a small farm and know them well. I also enjoy figurative work because the human form is amazing and difficult to portray successfully. I find the world to be a glorious place, full of beautiful colors, and I bring this to life in my paintings.<br /><br /><br />I am a member of excellence in the Southeastern Pastel Society and a juried member of the Degas Pastel Society in New Orleans. I have exhibited nationwide including the Pastel Society of America and the International Association of Pastel Societies, winning numerous awards. My work hangs in private collections throughout the country. </strong></span></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#333399;"></span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#333399;"></span></strong></div><div></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#333399;"></span></strong></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#333399;"></span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#333399;"></span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#333399;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"><strong><a href="mailto:cynansam@att.net">CONTACT CYNDI</a></strong></span></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span></strong> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.southerncolours.blogspot.com/">RETURN TO SOUTHERN COLOURS</a></span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/541436573583323335-2247438680090380489?l=marb-c.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sallienoreply@blogger.com0
