Pastel Art


A trip to the California coast inspired "Morrow Bay Saturday". It was sprinkling when we first passed this spot. The sun came out when we got to the parking lot and I ran back and captured the scene in sunlight.

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.




The San Juan mountains near Pagosa Springs, CO are the subject of this 8 x 10 pastel on textured gator board. It is a simple piece, but don't you just want to walk out into the meadow?
