Una caminata matutina la semana pasada inspiró mi paisaje pastel más reciente

"When Spring Walks Softly" 12"x9" pastel suave sobre una capa delgada de gouache que utilicé para esbozar mi composición y calentar o enfriar los tonos. No dibujo primero, simplemente empiezo a pintar, pero casi siempre uso alguna variedad de subpintura, normalmente una aplicación sencilla y ligera de pasteles duros que luego fijo con alcohol. Pero estoy descubriendo que las manchas irregulares y gruesas de gouache añaden un poco de textura a mi superficie y me está gustando eso. ¿Algún otro consejo sobre la subpintura?

"Grietas en Mi Corazón"

He estado creando una serie de pinturas en pastel inspiradas en la belleza y singularidad de cada uno de los anillos en la parte superior de las ciudades a lo largo de un sendero de senderismo. Cada anillo cuenta una historia de la vida del árbol. La forma en que se abren para mostrarse a medida que envejecen y se descomponen, pero de alguna manera siguen siendo creadores de belleza, me conmovió profundamente. Que también pueda abrirme y mostrar mi belleza interior a medida que envejezco.

De la serie House Sparrow. Estos cuerpos ocupados siempre me sacan una sonrisa. Pueden hacer que un espacio completamente tranquilo brille con vida. Trabajo en pastel seco en papel de 300 gsm.

When a Painting Titles Itself

Imagen del post 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

Imagen del post 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"]

Imagen del post 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?

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.
