About Me
- Cindi Smith
- I began painting pastel portraits in 2004. My first was "Jake." Our family had gone to Chile where we had portraits done by a street artist. Jake had not gone with us, so he did not have a portrait. Rather than hire someone, I decided to paint one myself! Since then I have painted several portraits, followed by animals, and landscapes. I like to show lots of detail in my paintings which isn't always characteristic of pastels. I love pastels because of the seemingly infinite variety of colors and textures one can create in any composition. Using different techniques, I am able to create the thick coarse hair of a lion's mane or the softness of a newborn baby.
