I am fascinated by the use of light in the paintings of some of the traditional and contemporary luminists.  This was my first attempt at playing in those waters!

I am still working on mark making.  I was feeling a bit dramatic while painting on this one and it shows!  I liked how it turned out though.  A nice change from my normal softer colors.

Pastel Painting, "Tempest"

"Tempest" 12x16 inches, pastel on board

Available through Etsy

This is a bit more abstract than usual for me and I really enjoyed it.  I used all of my favorite colors, and tried to capture a feeling instead of a scene.  It was inspired by a piece of music that I heard at the Oregon Symphony with my father, "Become Ocean" by the very talented John Luther Adams.  I felt so lucky to hear it live - the Oregon Symphony always does an amazing job, but this was quite an experience.
