A SUBDUED MORNING


A SUNRISE

4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame

It's a holiday weekend and so many are out having a party, yet I had to shuffle off to work. I really didn't mind. I walked to today's job, which was over a three-mile jaunt. Once setting out, I get very absorbed into my thoughts and then the time flies. Actually this is when I get my most creative thoughts for have nothing else to distract me - except for the cars whizzing bye!

But my mood gets very somber, for I concentrate so intensely. Very similar to this pictured petite pastel. Sunrises are unlike sunsets for the colors are more subdued with the highlights at the top of the clouds. With a love for color, it takes quite a bit of patience to execute one.

And when I returned home, my husband had grilled pork ribs ready to eat!

  3. Thank you Julie and Kelley! I've been busy framing some of this petite sunsets the past 2 days. It's amazing how different they look under glass! Really sparkle.

  4. Susan--you always have such a way with clouds--and I wish everyone could see your work in person--they glow! I love the work of yours that I own--I used one in a still life set up for one of my workshops and people were trying to buy it..:))

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.
