Inspirations and sketches from my studio in the Catskill Mountain. The solitude of my Artist Retreat compels me to keep exploring, seeing, experimenting, and painting all the picturesque quality outside my window.

PLEIN AIR WITH PASTEL
Always searching for ways to express my reaction to nature's beauty. The best part of plein air painting is that I don't get caught up in details.
I like to use pastel to express a misty morning. I love the spontaneity of the medium. Pastel tends to evoke rather than inform.
I was not far from home, so I can easily clean up. I'm at a stage where I cant decide if I just want to play with pretty colors or experiment with some color combo to express the mood of a foggy morning...
with the fog burning off, it's a different scene! |
