more from Hameau Farm

12x16 pastel

From all the paintings on my trip, this is the one I feel has the most possibility. Why you wonder? I think it is because I resonate with fields. Finding rhythms in the grasses and flowers send shivers through my spine. They have openings to the kind of play that is so exciting to me. Isn't that why we paint? Right now I am preparing a large board for its transformation into oil.
Here are two other pastels- not my favorites so they will stay nestled in tracing paper.

overlook 8x16 pastel

up the driveway, 8x8 pastel

Leah said...: The field pastel is beautiful. What kind of flower is that stunning pink?
Also, I really like the overlook pastel so I hope it doesn't stay nestled for too long. Thought of you this past weekend as we traveled the Cabot Trail.; May 23, 2012 at 5:44 PM

The flower looks like a phlox but is really hesperis. It is a gorgeous pink! Where did you go on the Cabot trail?

Hi Liz!
You too love pink!; May 23, 2012 at 7:48 PM

Art Matters said...: The pink field is exciting, but then I'm a sucker for pink. Also really like the composition of the bottom study.; May 24, 2012 at 2:42 AM
Lisa Le Quelenec said...: This looks like such an exciting place to sketch. I think all of these have great potential for paintings. With a slight crop (maybe) 'up the driveway' would look great in portrait format imho. They all convey a light happy warmth.; May 24, 2012 at 5:15 AM

It's nice to meet another "sucker for pink"!

Hi Lisa, You are right, the farm was a lovely place to work, as were the surrounding areas.

Thanks Eden!
