It's amazing to me how much my work with oils is now effecting my work with pastels. With a pre-selected palette and the idea of refraction I painted this one. Much more satisfying after yesterday's serious dog (sorry Sam...I didn't mean an insult on DOGS).
Tonight is the Wolf Kahn lecture. I will blog about it soon. Then early tomorrow I am off for an away painting weekend.

What a wonderful feeling you captured here! I want to stay and dream...
FYI-just finished a book that you might like-it is called crow planet by Lyanda Haupt- not about painting-but -some of it applies!
Taking the name of Dog in vain, eh?
I bombed today. See my comment on Painter's Process (randalldavidtipton.blogspot.com).
Wolf Kahn and a weekend break! You so deserve it. Enjoy yourself!
Hi! I do not think your painting from yesterday was a "dog"! I rather like it, as it shows something more internal. The one from today, while technically strong, has less tension in it, and is a beautiful picture, but less substance(?) I hope I am articulating myself correctly, and not insulting you. They are BOTH lovely but yesterdays is great too. :-)
Thanks Susan!
Hi RRosemsn and welcome to my blog! Thanks for the book suggestion. I will check it out.
Hi SAm...you bombed today??? I will have to go see what you are talking about.
Hi Sally, Thanks for taking the time to comment. So you don't think it's a dog. Somehow i can't seem to see through my disappointment on that one. I don't feel insulted, don't worry. It's just very interesting that others see it differently. Thank you!
I bet this one was satisfying to do, Loriann - such a nice feeling and texture to it. I love the pinkish color in the foreground...
This one is just pure beauty.
Hi Brian, Thank you and yes it was fun and satisfying to do. It just flowed.
Hi Jala, thank you!
What a beauty!
