about 11x11 pastel on somerset
I decided to continue the challenge. With value only I tried to create the feeling of the sun sinking below the horizon. To do this I focused on keeping the land masses dark, trying only to give light to the few places the sun's last light would touch. Making clouds with value only was the trickiest part! This will help me with the painting I began last week. My soccer field.
I wanted to share with you that my painting, Sunshine on my Shoulder, took 3rd place in the Maryland Pastel Society's show. I just found out about this happy moment!

Congratulations on the award from Maryland Pastel Society. It's a beauty, Loriann!
I think this is wonderful - I like the shift from deep darks up through the trees.
Congratulations on your award! Way to go!
Thanks Janelle and Katherine!!!
Another gorgeous grisaille! Congrats on the award - it's a beautiful painting!
Hi Donna and thank you! I am beginning to think of these removed grisailles differently. They are paintings done in value only...like a print. hmmmm
Hey congratulations ... it's a great piece!
The grisaille is very exciting, really like all
of the subtractive areas. It appears to be
something new for you. Well done ... and
again I say nicely delineated.

Congratulations on your award!

Hi PB, You are right, the subtractive idea is something I like to do when working with value only. Maybe I will try it with color as well. Thanks ! Thank you too about 3rd place!
Thanks Barbara and Orit!
You are perfecting your way toward more intuition and less regard for the actual subject. It feels like you are searching for the treasure of your subjects. Very cool!
Congrats on the award! Well deserved.
Congratulations on the award Loriann, a beautiful painting.
congrats Loriann! Well deserved.
I hope you know the "removed grisailles" are working as well as they are. Kvan put it well when she you're being more intuitive. Fewer rules, more feeling.
Congratulations on another well-deserved prize!
Thank you Kvan, Caroline, Brian and Sam!
Kvan and Sam, You are right, I am definitely trying to feel more think less.Let's see what happens!
Congratulations! You must be doing something right. ;)
Hi Jala, I am trying! Thank you!
