I have been studying and experimenting with the different ways to create the luminous look I desire in my skies. Someday I feel so far away from my quest (the holy grail) and days like this I feel a millimeter closer. Yesterday I finished a summer painting I began when I was on the island of Ocracoke. When I was there I was fortunate to experience storm after storm and storm break after storm break. One night it lightninged for 5 hours straight and there were two water tornadoes. It was wonderful!!!!! Pure drama!
For years I have been scrutinizing Sanford Gifford's beautiful work. Slowly I am beginning to see the light. Dark is not always essential, it seems to be the in the color gradations. Subtle.
On another note, good news! I just received a letter informing me that two of my pastels have been juried into the Appalachian Pastel Society's National Exhibit. I have never been to Asheville and hope to get there to attend the show! Here is one of the pastels.
Have a good week!
