I'm back to pastel

'Light Corridor' 36"by 24" Pastel on sandpaper with a wet pigment underpainting. Plein Air, done this afternoon.

I'm back to pastel. My first love. My explorations in oil and acrylic taught me that I already am where I want to be. Loose. Expressive. Looking forward to a whole new body of work.

    I'm glad you're back into your pastels, too.
    Besides being a pleasure to see, there's always so much to learn from your paintings.

  5. Wonderful! I do so UNDERSTAND! I just fumble around but made a foray into acrylics and got totally frustrated! It really is a pleasure to look at your work...and it must give you such pleasure to be able to make yourself content too.
    Congrats.

  6. I am so happy! I love your pastels and I love your pastel paper. It made the cut for "First most important packages" when I moved to San Francisco. Now seeing you painting on it again warms my heart. Cool as your other paintings are, I love your pastels best.
