"Morning Glory", pastel 11x18

  

I just picked up this painting from the 43rd Annual Valley Art Center Exhibition in Chagrin Falls, OH.  My subject matter was the clouds over a shopping center I saw while walking into the grocery store one morning this fall. I pulled out my faithful cell phone and started snapping pics. The clouds hung so beautifully over the stores, but sorry architecture.. they deserved to be hanging over a more natural setting!

 

$395.  double matted and framed. (framed size 21"x28")



"In the Red at Bridal Veil Falls" , 6x18, pastel

I loved taking my Plein Air class to sites around Cleveland this fall.  We painted a lake in the thick fog, on the edge of a gorgeous gorge , and this scene at the base of a loooong stairway down to this beautiful waterfall that's part of the Metro Park system. It was late fall and a crisp day as we teetered on the stairway landings to catch our views.   This was my demo, mostly done on location and then tweaked with a stroke or two back at my studio. Painted on Ampersand pastel board with a wide range of soft pastel brands.
