Chalk Pastels on wet Stonehenge paper,

$ 300, SOLD

(Dorothy purchased this painting earlier this morning, 7th oct).

This is one of the 3 studies from life I did of Dorothy about four days ago at the Rotary Centre for the Arts here in Kelowna, BC, Canada.

We are a group of painters who get together with a different model for each session and paint in mediums of our choice. As we are passionate about portraiture, anyone is welcome to sit for our 2.5 hour session. There is an interesting display of some of these portraits at the Rotary Centre showing the individual styles of each artist.

Chalk Pastels on wet Stonehenge paper, 14" x 19.5"

$ 300

Grey tinted, wet Stonehenge printmaking paper used as a surface for this pastel study of model from life. As she gently leaned away from me, overhead lights caught the top of her head, I just had to throw in the orange, the colourist in me couldnt hold back. Flat strokes of white pastel in the background were used to add to the serene mood.

A limited palette study of young and talented Pat ... so lost in his Sax. His music is so soothing, hence the choice of using cool blues with hints of yellow ochre.

Clearing snow during the Canadian winter, Neil paused for a moment, my camera was ready. Rendered in the enjoyable, yet challenging technique of using chalk pastels on wet printmaking paper.
