Detail of SKETCH OF ZOE
14"h x 11"w
pastel
I am honored that Saturday, the 15th I will be giving a
demonstration at Clairemont Art Guild in San Diego.
Frequently I am requested by different art organizations,
but this is my first to Clairemont. After researching, am
delighted to see they have been in existence since 1954
and associated with Mesa College Art Department.
Above - Sketch of Zoe - is one of the two paintings which
I will further develop in my demonstration to illustrate use
of soft pastels. The second is a further progressed seascape,
thus individuals can see my distinctive process in it's stages.
I personally feel art guilds are such a wonderful opportunity
for individual growth, companionship and participation in
a community, so am thankful for the invitation to share my art!
This piece is so expressive. I don't think you need to do anything else to it. Love the red showing through against all the lovely colors in Zoe's hair and shirt.
