BADLANDS SKETCH

BADLANDS SKETCH
12" x 9" pastel on board
The heat enveloping the nation brings back memories of
my stay at the Petrified Forest National Park of Arizona.

As mentioned in earlier postings, I was awarded

an Artist-in-Residence at the Forest in 2009.

The two-week life experience was exhilarating

and challenging.



My previous post, A PAINTED SUMMERis a view of the 

Petrified Forest National Park's Badlands as I hiked down
onto the desert floor. Above, BADLANDS SKETCH was 
created at the highest point as seen from the Visitors 
Center, Painted Desert Inn.


And below is a picture of me working 

on my Badlands sketch.

  1. This is an awesome photo of the artist at work! Who took that for you? I love how your style comes through in both the badlands sketch and the donut! Very nice work! I learn a lot about colors and reflections from looking at your paintings.

  2. Thank you Katherine. The other Artist-in-Residence, Constance Baltuk Hartle, took the photo. After the 2- weeks opportunity we had a Kodak moment to capture our experience.
    And especially thanks for the referral on color and reflections!

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.

BLAZING RED

GLOW 11"h x 14"w pastel black with gold trim frame sold -   private collector Night fell fast. The lower half of a thick strand of dark clouds turned blazing-red from the sun as it dropped to the horizon. And the night glowed.
