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....

Reflected Gold

Rich dark evergreens are the perfect foil for the glowing golds and yellows of deciduous trees. Having everything doubled in the serene mirror of the pond makes you feel the quietness and peace. This is painted from a photo taken by friend and artist Karen, but it could be in any forest opening in our beautiful northwest. "Reflections in Gold" is a 10 x 13" pastel matted and framed to 14 x 18", and it is SOLD.
