What I Painted at the PSME Plein Air Retreat
During our plein air retreat I did six paintings in three full days, two of flowers, two of rocks, and two of water.
Entwined (New Large Pastel Painting)
Do you see how everything is entwined, held together by a single line?
I Have a lot Going On (New Painting in Pastel)
I wanted to paint a feeling that was based on the happy juggle of disparate parts.
Soul of an Old Olive Tree (New Large Pastel Painting)
This visceral painting is my first abstract response to those sage old souls I saw in Tuscany.
Patience Must Have Her Perfect Work (New Painting in Pastel)
Patience can seem receding, and not very bright or exciting, however I’ve been realizing lately that it is not an inactive, idle quality, but a very quietly busy one, getting on with making whatever adjustments are necessary behind the scenes, tidying everything up.
I’m in this “Pastels Plus” Show
This is a strong show, and it is clear that pastel artists are much more innovative when encouraged to have a mixed media element in their work.
The Road to Marrakesh (New Large Abstract Landscape in Pastel)
This is the first painting to come out of our travel to Morocco last December.
Water, Snow, & Air: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (New Conceptual Painting)
Can we just embrace nature already, instead of fight against it out of human insecurity or hubris?
Contemplating Relevant History (New Abstract Painting in Pastel)
I painted this sitting outside on a beautiful day in October, listening to history.
IAPS Webshow 2024
I’d like to influence an increase of appreciation for purely abstract work in this fabulous medium.
Teaching Non-traditional Methods in Pastel (Day 3)
