"Aspen Dance" Sells in NYC

I am happy to report that "Aspen Dance" sold recently at the Pastel Society of America's 40th Open Juried Exhibit in New York City. I am sorry to see it go as I am with all of my work, but I'm sure it will have a fabulous home back East! The exhibit hangs in the National Arts Club Gallery in Gramercy Park So. through Sept. 29, 2012.

Transitional Home Project

TRANSITIONAL HOME PROJECT DONE and FRAMED
The paintings are painted, they are photographed and framed and ready to be gifted.
Ah, the feeling! I am humbled they want to hang my work to enhance the surroundings!
They will hang in a transitional housing complex for those who had been hospitalized for mental illness, where they come for short stays until they are back on their feet, and have a job.  Proud to have my art there!
Each piece is 8x10" pastel on uArt sanded paper with turp wash undercoat.

"Early Snow Late Harvest"



Here is another from Wenatchee Heights. I love the shapes and sparseness of the hills. At one point I thought I was done working on this. I waited overnight and looked again. Yes, it's good. I shot some photos. Looked again. No - I won't settle - my eye kept going back to places where I didn't want my eye to go. I took it back to the studio. I layered a deep yellow over the pink in the mid-ground. Highlighted the road on the left more. Added highlights to the snow fields. Put a few touches here and there, lightening a shrub here, highlighting a hill there. And pow! that is what it needed. I'm so glad I didn't settle! This painting will look fabulous with today's contemporary wall colors and furnishings.
