QUAKE AND A CLOUDY DAY

By now most have heard that a 7.2 earthquake struck Mexicali yesterday, with minor damages in San Diego. And the town has been talking non-stop since.
Where was I? Wouldn't you know, I was outside, walking and looking upwards. I am embarrassed to say that I didn't feel a thing, but did notice and fascinated by a berserk flock of sea gulls and one crane, flying erratically. They glided from tree to tree and in a circular motion. Their formation was beautiful to watch.
And today it's raining in drizzles with an overcast sky. The sun peeks out at very small moments. What a good day to paint.

  2. Well thank you back Kim. Love hearing from you once again. Been framing paintings - which is such a drag with pastels- so away a bit.
    Have to admit too, that my skies are not plein air and a lot of layering to get the depth. Love working in miniature, so worth it.

Sold! GLOW, by Susan Roden

GLOW 11" x 14" soft pastel SOLD - private collector So nice this pastel went to a wonderful home! Now I'll live in my memories of the Petrified Forest  National Park, where I did a residency and was  the inspiration for this painting. Thank you!

BLAZING RED

MEMORIES AND FAVORITES

DIGNITY pastel SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR After the holidays, I begun to reminisce of people from my past.    Reflecting, I realize that life experiences have  enriched me greatly in so many ways.  Dignity is not only of a friend I lost touch with,  but also a personal, favorite painting that went to another home. Fond memories.... gone but not forgotten.
