"Breath of Light." Pastel.

"Breath of Light", 9 x 12"
Pastel on Multimedia-Artboard-Pastel panel.

Back to visions of Vermont. Just did this small studio version
with memories of our summer trip in my mind...
Painting is done with my Plein Air set of pastels,
watercolor underpainting,
Look like finally those multimedia panels started to work for me.
Took me a while, but I sort of starting to like those...
Maybe another painting?

"Arches", Pastel.


"Arches", 10 x 8", Pastel on Wallis.

This one was a painting I did during my first painting day in a city
of San Miguel De Allende. 
We started nice and easy, but whole event turned into total chaos,
when cars and vans starting pulling to "El Jardin" - central square
of San Miguel where our group was working this day.
Turned out - crowd was gathering for movie shoot.
One of popular Mexican soap operas, what they call "Telenovela".
So we got to participate in sort of "Painting with the stars" event
without any fair warning.
Many bystanders were kicked out of the square by TV crew,
but they let us paint and worked things around...
What was indeed very nice, as bunch of foreigners with easels
definitely weren't part of the script.
I was working on my first painting in the most far corner in weak hope
it is safe place to be and I was dead wrong.
Long story short - I got to paint  right on camera
and my dear spouse had too much fun with that fact....
Regardless... I finished the painting.

Hard to believe, it was just week ago now,
when we are back in PA and buried in a snow...
It was too much fun!



"Shapes of City", pastel.

"Quiet Waters", Pastel.

 Last several days I was lucky to be a part of unique event sponsored
by Pastel Society of America.
Our group flew to Mexico to get together in San Miguel de Allende
and paint together with my favorite pastel-guru - Richard McKinley.

In 2008 UNESCO recognized San Miguel de Allende and
the neighboring Sanctuary of Jesus de Atotonilco
as World Heritage of Humanity sites and we had
an opportunity to work on both locations.

Some of those paintings I'll post later, meanwhile I want to share one I did
in local botanical garden what is known there as
"Jardín Botánico"
Enjoy!

"Quiet Waters", 8 x 10"
Pastel. Plein Air.
