Art by Patti Lou

A former school teacher, Patti Lou Richardson picked up a brush and began painting in 2010 after searching for an art class for her grandson. Her paintings of nature, landscapes, and people are gleaned from her travels throughout her native Texas, across the country, and around the world.

Meet Brandon Thomas @bjthomas1985 ... one of over 50 people (to date!) who I’ve drawn in my recent series of pastel portraits. NOW ON VIEW in my exhibit “A Show of Faces” at Starbucks on on 6201 Washington Ave., Houston, TX 77007. Since April 2018, I have been photographing, then sketching baristas, customers, and even canine guests at my neighborhood Starbucks. Each portrait takes about two days to create using a photograph to study and is drawn using soft pastels on 11”x14” paper made of recycled coffee filters. My show was designed and installed by Melissa Richardson Banks (my daughter!). COMMISSIONS AVAILABLE! Contact me! Want to learn to draw or paint? Instruction available with Clemente Garcia-Lassaulx at Lassaulx Art Studio!
