Waiting for the Rain, Pastel.

Waiting for the rain,
12x16", Pastel on paper.

This piece was a test for new paper, some of my students brought to me to try.
I did ask how it was called, but lady wasn't sure and I never saw this one before.
 I decided to give it a test without mounting it to the board. I sort of do like it,
 but not totally sure for just one try. I have another piece 
and hope to play with that one sometime soon.
this is another painting f farm fields just behind of my Best Friend's farm,
few miles away from home.

Once Upon A France, Pastel.

"Once Upon A France",
12x12" Pastel on panel

After significant brake in my art blogging I'm finally back to it and going to post
some new paintings... This one is the first Pastel Painting for 2017.
In fact it is total re-do of old painting from years ago.
Washed off with organic solvent and totally repainted.
After my trip to France in 2016 I feel different about this subject,
 even more poetic... Hopefully I managed to reflect it at this work.
Enjoy!

"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.

"Pas de trois", Oil Pastel, WIP.

 "Pas de trois" , 10 x 8", Oil Pastel.
Mounted U-art 280.

 I did this painting free-handed, no precise drawing whatsoever in 
Caran D'Ache Supracolor pencils.

 I worked by sections turning pencil drawing into watercolor wash.

 Above - finished underpainting with some hint of  Oil Pastel.

 Above - finished Oil Pastel blocking.

And finished painting of course.
A bit different for me - I had plenty of fun with background
on this one and usually background is the part I mostly neglect.

News from Switzerland.


This morning our mail-lady presented me with two big boxes.
At first I was very surprised - we didn't expect any deliveries...
But then I looked on a sender's label and realized
that it was my shipping from Geneva. 
Caran D'Ache of Switzerland send me some samples
of their art products.
It was a "Thank You gift" from the company.
At the end of 2012 I was contacted by Caran D'Ache and asked to use
one of my Works-In-Progress images for their new product brochure 
on one of my favorite brands on Oil pastels - Neopastel.

 It was very generous gift. I received 48 colors set of Neopastels,
box of 40 my beloved Supracolor pencils
and new for American market pastel cubes and pencils.
(I have to admit - I'm already in LOVE with those pencils!)

I also received some brochures, including one with image of my art work,
what company will be using for the next several years
as educational material included with their Oil Pastel set.

I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning, unwrapping those boxes.
It sure made my day!

Progress on those lilies.... Oil Pastel, WIP.

Today I rearranged few things in this painting (some of foliage)
and I think I like it better now.
Look like I pulled it all together to my total like and now just need
 to take some more time and finalize everything. 
I even tried it with new frame I had in mind or this painting.
I custom ordered this one two years ago for my other floral work
 and it turned into a brilliant communication failure between painting and frame...
And so much for talking... Just need to go and finish it.

Something about those lilies...


 I wanted to do a painting of white lilies for a while... but always something was getting on my way -not the right lilies, not sure how I want to paint them, not sure, not sure...
Finally this spring Irina discovered in our garden this beauty in full its glory.
I went out with camera and soon  I had my reference and my inspiration.
It is going to be one more floral Oil pastel on Pastelbord, mean wile I just finished under-painting
in Gouache and watercolor. I'm happy with what I see here and ready to start rendering in Oil Pastels.

Oil Pastel Society signature status.


This happened to be an extremely busy summer for me...
Our little girl is getting married, our horses are getting new barn,
lot of work in the garden and with my show dogs and I have few great art
events to attend what require extensive traveling...
With all this in mind I still have to make myself some quality painting time...
What I do... but those are mostly nights.
Few new painting are on a way, but mean while my "older paintings"
(what are mostly just 2-3 years "old" or even lesser) still do the job...
Yesterday I received a wonderful news from Oil Pastel Society.

"Congratulations! The judges have found your work to be exceptional and have awarded you signature status in the Oil Pastel Society."

I'm finding it very significant, because just about 3 years ago I found myself completely in love with Oil Pastels, finished my first floral painting and entered it into my very first juried show. It was beginning of exiting journey in the World of Big Art and it all started from Oil Pastels what I conceder my
"lucky medium" and one of my personal favorites...

Thank You to the Jury for this big Honor!..

Singe red rose. WIP Oil.



I was going to paint this one for a while... Wanted to do something not too complicated with clear glass and flowers and ended up playing with the same "Climbing Blaze" roses what were my model for "Awakening" about two years ago..
Roses are red, vase is... green, but so far I'm working on underpainting, what naturally is neutral.
Titanium White and Payne's Gray.
Not entirely done yet, but almost there. One more W/B session and then - color.

"Orchids in Ruby Glass" Pastel 11 x 11" WIP. Update #1

"Orchids in Ruby Glass" Pastel 11 x 11" WIP.

I'm back to my lay-away project. It is not very easy after finished painting in oil try to do the same in pastel. But I think I can manage. Didn't finish much today, but got a right feeling from whatever I did. 
Looking forward to continue. Very enjoyable painting to work with.
