A Very Still Life
"Juicy" is a zoomed in still life of cherries and a kiwi. It is 18" x 18" on Wallis paper and is sold. However I see more of this in my future...

Lakeside Artists Studio Tour
Many, many thanks to all who visited this weekend for the studio tour. It was great to see family and friends and I appreciate all your support. Thanks also to those who sent best wishes and good vibes from afar. I sold a number of paintings and notecards and feel honored to have my work displayed in someone's home.

Lakeside Artists Studio Tour
We had a successful opening day of the studio tour. A number of people said they were checking out all the sites and planning to return tomorrow to purchase their selections. Old friends stopped by, yes, a good start...

New work
"Amsterdam Quay" is a mood piece done predominately in grays. Just like in life, though, there are bright spots that hold the hope of sailing off into the glorious sunset. This piece is 11" x 14" done on textured gator board.

Pastel Still Lifes
Though I have almost exclusively done pastel landscapes, I have shifted recently to still life, at least for awhile. A cup of tea on my back patio makes for an interesting play of backlit subject matter.
Yes, that bite of cherry was good! The most vibrant color is found in the midtone and I have underutilized my red pastels. Red is a wonderful color.
I like to draw and pastel allows you to make marks. I think that is part of why I picked up this particular medium.

I went to graduate school in Augusta, GA. This was a nice place to go for a break! And the Georgia red clay is a great color, way better than brown.
The out of doors is a theme in this blog. We were biking in Pagosa Springs, Colorado when I decided to stop and snap this photo. It turned into an 8 x 10 pastel on textured gator board.

Pastel Art
I learned how to make my own textured boards in a Susan Ogilvie workshop. This painting and the following one were done "en plein air" at Anne Springs Close greenway in South Carolina.
