Silverton 5" x 7" Pastel
I don't think there is ever a bad day at the studio. I don't always create a master piece, but sometimes the discussions and experiments are as important as the master piece I strive for. Today Cindy and I had a discussion about the difference between rendering a painting and expressing ourselves. I have created a number of paintings inwhich I have painted what I observed rather than what I feel about the subject matter. Lately I have been experimenting with my pastels, laying down shapes of color and creating more tonal paintings. I feel that these pieces have been more expressive and fresh. Silverton is one of my newest pieces.
