"Melody of Forest", 10 x 8", Pastel.

Another one of my Plein Air pastels, painted during our trip to Vermont
earlier this summer. This was the last day of this painting trip
(and gorgeous Day it was!). We all worked on and around of beautiful property

this opportunity to our group of Pastelists leaded by Richard McKinley.
We all had wonderful time there. Great weather. Great views. Great art.
Much to remember.

"Spring House" is accepted into "Keystone-National Work on Paper".




Sometime ago I believe I already posted this little painting,
however I would like to share it again, as part of upcoming
"Keystone-National Work on Paper" exhibition.
I'm truly honored to have this little (8 x 10") gem juried in,
because of its Plein Air nature. Finally I'm starting to feel
that my Plein Air paintings starting catch up to my studio works,
or maybe even exceed those studio pieces.
Indeed out of my two submissions for "Keystone" Plein Air piece
took over my other studio piece.. 
Thank You to the Juror Laurin McCracken for
accepting "Spring House" into this beautiful show.
Looking forward to see all the art works!

More Plein Air painting!.. "Spring House", pastel.

"Spring House", Pastel,
sanded paper, 8 x 10"

Yesterday we got to paint on beautiful old farm somewhere in the middle of nowhere...
I want to tell Thank You to Cecelia Layden for such a wonderful treat. I love it there.
Even I was planning to paint on Wednesday, my husband convinced me to go on Tuesday,
I have another planes, but worked around it..It was great we made it there, because
next day paint out was canceled due to the weather issues.
Work I did there might go down to history as "last painting of Wallis Belgium Mist" I ever did.
This wonderful paper is still out of stock everywhere due to production issues.
Here is some glance of my painting process... enjoy!







Lastly I want to remind that there is still a time to sign for my upcoming Pastel Class
"Pastel landscape inside and Out" designed for both - studio and outdoor painters.
For more information please call to Mechanicsburg Art Center.

"One Day of Glory", Oil Pastel.

"One Day of Glory", 12 x 12",
Oil Pastel, Pastelmat.

Latest Oil pastel floral piece. this time I got to try Pastelmat
for my Oil Pastels... and I LOVE it!
I can do all the dry-brushing I want without shredding my brushes.
But still... this is the sanded surface and it grabs and holds Oil Pastels very well!
Also... I tried about all solvents I have on my shelf with this support,
 and it performed well with everything - water, mineral spirit, alcohol....
I may just have found another favorite support for Oil Pastel paintings.
