Ein Morgenspaziergang letzte Woche inspirierte mein neuestes Pastell-Landschaft

"Wenn der Frühling sanft wandert" 12"x9" weiches Pastell auf einer dünnen Gouache-Unterzeichnung, die ich verwendet habe, um meine Komposition zu skizzieren und sie wärmt und kühlt. Ich zeichne nicht zuerst, sondern beginne direkt mit dem Malen, benutze aber fast immer eine Art Unterzeichnung, meist eine einfache, leichte Anwendung von festen Pastellen, die ich dann mit Rivan bzw. Isopropylalcohol fixiere. Aber ich finde, unregelmäßig dicke Flecken aus Gouache verleihen meiner Oberfläche eine kleine Struktur, und das gefällt mir. Hat jemand andere Gedanken zum Thema Unterzeichnung?

„Risse in meinem Herzen“

Ich habe eine Serie von Pastellmalereien erstellt, die von der Schönheit und Einzigartigkeit jeder Baumkrone entlang eines Wanderwegs inspiriert sind. Jeder Jahresring erzählt die Geschichte des Lebens des Baumes. Die Art und Weise, wie sie sich öffnen, um sich mit dem Alter und Verfall zu zeigen, und doch irgendwie eine Quelle der Schönheit bleiben, berührt mich zutiefst. Möge auch ich im Alter meine innere Schönheit öffnen und zeigen.

When a Painting Titles Itself

Beitragsbild 1
I'm giving away a print of this soft pastel this week and while preparing socials posts and emails for the giveaway, I remembered lightly sketching these yuccas in with a pastel pencil and thinking, "the flower stalks are like those royal guards at Buckingham Palace--these are seriously standing guard over both land and sky. That thought helped direct the painting's progress and dictated the composition of the clouds in relation to the land. Nice when they title themselves, isn't it?! "Standing Guard" is a real place in the high desert, way out in far West Texas ranch country.

Maybe not quite a worm's eye view of bluebonnets, but a different way to show them

Beitragsbild 1
As a Texas landscape painter, it's almost a sin not to paint bluebonnets, but I try to find different ways to show these beauties. While "normal" bluebonnets are a foot tall or less, the Big Bend desert variety grow up to four feet tall, making them show-stoppers. Here, while an entire mesa was covered with blue, I chose to show only a cluster shooting into the sky in the immediate foreground. I lay on my belly to take my reference photo-- but only after carefully checking for snakes, scorpions and hidden cactus. It's hard work, but somebody's gotta do it! "Tall Texas Blues" is one of my first bluebonnet landscapes, a 9" x 12" soft pastel (on Kitty Wallis Museum Grade paper, an old standby I no longer use because they quit manufacturing it).

Pure Gold [soft pastel, 8"x16"]

Beitragsbild 1
Having spent most of my life living along the Monterey Bay in California, the most extraordinary sunsets simply take your breath away. Most of the time there's a fog bank that hovers off the coast, which rolls in on time so we don't need air conditioning all summer long. But occasionally there's a day when the the fog stays away long enough for the sun to drench the sky and cliffs in the most incredible imaginable colors. Pure Gold captures that one evening many years ago that left me spellbound. How about you?

A commission of two sisters. I photographed then together and separately and blended references to get this composition.

My 3 beautiful daughters have always been a source of inspiration! As my work in pastels has progressed more recently, I am less fearful of employing color and looser, more expressive strokes.... always a work in progress.

We Have A Pastel Community!! Thank you!!

After basic drawing, my first use of color was with pastels...and I could not imagine anything more wonderful until I started with oils, and never looked back for nearly 20 years. My daughter's cancer care and Covid brought me back to pastels and I am hooked once again. The luscious feel, the immediacy, the fine nuances that can be achieved have me enjoying them more than ever before., for studies and final works alike. Now if only I could have the time to use ALL the mediums to the extent I would want - but there are only 24 hours in a day with no guarantees of a tomorrow, so those "tough choices" will be there always.
