February 9, 2008 Adagio, studio version

17x20, pastel on board, this will go to the gallery
Hi Everyone! A big thank you to everyone who came to my opening last night. I love you all! It was great to see everyone, hug, talk art and life, and smile non-stop. I was delighted to see so many of my youngest artist friends ( the 4-9 year old crew)! One declared to me, "This will be me! I will be an artist and have shows too!"
As for the painting, this one has gone through several metamorphoses since July. Little by little. I think it is done. Finally I knew what to do.
Thanks again for all your support! And last, a big thank you to Domi who has helped me through every blog and website glitch !!

January 27, 2008 "En Plein Car" Field Dipped in Orange

8x8, pastel on wallis, $100. plus shipping and tax
Today I drove out to Easton. It was a beautiful, sunny day. The ice is almost melted off the ponds. I took many photos; then saw this field. The field was full of Canadian geese who were nibbling at the ground. They flew off as soon as I parked my car. The light was melon colored. It was late afternoon. The colors in the actual painting are much less gray. For some reason blogger grays this one.?.
