| "Sunny Field" / pastel / 7x9 |
My friend Will Dixon invited me to show some of my work at his office,
Willard C. Dixon, Architect, during
Eugene's Last Friday Artwalk on Friday, May 30. The address is 300 Blair Blvd.
My work will be on display for that evening only between 5:00 and 9:00 PM. Please stop by to see what I've been doing lately, learn more about the amazing medium of soft pastel, and enjoy some refreshments. The show's theme is "Water and Light." Will is a talented architect and all-around great guy and you can meet him and learn about his projects, too.
The two paintings shown here will be on display. Although both are painted with pastels, they have very different moods. "Sunny Field" with its bold, bright colors and assertive mark-making was painted on location in Portugal's Peneda-Geres National Park, with final touches added after I returned home. "Fall Fantasy" depicts a scene in Shelton, Washington, and has a kind of shimmering mysticism conveyed by lighter strokes and a softer palette. I hope to see you on May 30.

ReplyDeletecheers, Linda
Bold strokes are preferable to tentative ones, eh? (I put that "eh" in there because I notice you're Canadian.) I'm pretty happy with the way these paintings came together. Thanks for checking in with your comments! If you ever do plan to be in the Portland area, do let me know...
DeleteBest wishes!
