9x10 pastel on watercolor, Uart paperI no longer need to hide beside my car for warmth! Yay!!! Spring is here. Today I went down to Great Falls Park to my favorite painting spot near big pool. The focus was temperature of color and the goal was unity with temperature changes....I know I can go "hog wild" with my colors so I am constantly making choices to keep harmony.
The morning light has such a cool lemony flavor with warm shadows.
On another happy note....You can now find my work in the John Matthew Moore Gallery in Chevy Chase, MD. Matthew is great guy and an artist. He saw my work in the hands of one of my collector's (thank you Diane) and sought me out! Double yay!

Hi Loriann- First of all congratulations on your new gallery representation! I like the way you handled the pastels in this painting-very nice gesture w/o getting sloppy. I especially like the bold blue marks on the right side and the colors in the water.
Lovely painting, Loriann and congrats on the gallery!
