Welcome

Early in the spring of 2009 I fell in love...with a beautiful pastel painting by artist Karen Schroeder of Coupeville, Washington. Some months after asking if she gave lessns, I was happy to learn that a class was available. In November I took my first pastel painting class... and this love affair continues...
Pastels are the purest painting medium -- pure finely ground pigments are lightly formed into sticks with just a whisper of medium. They are soft and sensuous and are made in the most vibrant of colors. When applied gently to a rough surface which grasps and holds the pigment they are treasures --fragile and vulnerable and an ongoing delight. No two dimensional medium affords the tactile and seductive involvement of pastels. This blog is a collection of my pastel works....

Values

On crisp cold days the sun never rises high in the sky and every degree of warmth must be treasured. This stark beauty can be as much a pleasure as any rampant green summer. It is all about valuing the best of each season. This pastel painting "Winter Sunset" is 16 x 12.
