This photo was taken in the river.
It was cool but refreshing water.
Wouldn't recommend bringing your easel in.

Highlights from my pastel studies project

Time seems to be tight lately, so I've been completing these small studies with verve. Having committed to spend a short amount of time on them, I can justify working for a moment when normally I wouldn't even think of painting because I don't have two+ hours.

Something is truly great about seeing the studies all together, sort of like those beautiful displays in shops of bulk items. Love those! These two photos represent a large portion of what I've done, but there are still a lot more in my studio awaiting their photo session later.

Here are some close ups:

This sunset one was the beginning of so many changes for me, like trying to say more with less (something I still struggle with!) Love how it looks.

What will I do with all of these? So far I'm not sure, but they could end up in small framed collections on a theme. We'll see!

Small works :: Pear pairing

A gallery owner had told me years ago: "Pears sell!" In my years in galleries, I find this to be the truth!

Recently I started looking at still lifes by pastel artists and focused on their edges. Result of the exploration? Work quickly, with aplomb, and have fun playing with the marks and pigment. Take risks. Be messy!

I set a timer on these pieces, too, so I wouldn't get too tight. Any guesses on how many minutes I permitted each piece?

Contact Gallery9 for information on these pieces.

6x6" Pastels for summertime

It's been a great summer weatherwise and artwise. Setting up my easel in the backyard and overseeing my young girls play is like a sort of art utopia which seems to get my creative juices flowing!

These 6x6" pastels are something I love to do. When seen together I am really excited about how they look.

If you're interested in any, let me know and I'll put you in touch with the gallery that has them. Each is $125 framed to 10x10" in a simple squared gold frame with a white mat.

Thanks for reading! ~kmw
