The other day I tried a new surface for me with pastels: velour.
Wow! It was a wonderful experience for me who has a heavy hand and has a hard time making things look soft.

a new surface with an old reliable subject

When I try out new supplies, I generally work on something that feels familiar to me. In this case I went with my hay bales, but I've also had a great time with my standard marshes. (Did I mention Tim threatened to start calling me "Marsha"?)

This new surface had me all aflutter. Wow did I ever have a great time! Quickly departing from my comfort zone I started up on new pieces focusing on light, color, temperature, and all that good stuff.

Light plays a major contrasting role in what I decided to paint, even in this Beach Grasses piece below where it plays a more subtle part than in the one above.

Temperature choices were foremost on my mind while created these pieces.

This night we were on vacation and suddenly I needed to go for a walk. So glad we all did! Behold the most glorious sky I ever did see! More paintings of this subject to come, be sure.

Always liking to do a smaller piece, I figured I'd take a shot at a smaller, slightly altered version of the earlier Sunlit Path. Small works are such fun!

These works are all available at Gallery9. I'm nervously looking forward to hearing the feedback to them.
Thanks for reading! ~kmw
