WREATH and WREATH COLORS - figurative pastel sketches by Susan Roden

WREATH

life drawing sketch on paper

I've been knee deep into taxes, organizational responsibilities

and of course, family. Time consuming yes, but really I'm

not complaining. Just that there has been a shortage of time.

So last week I had my play time and went life drawing. So

exhilarating and also takes me away in my mind. The model

was so good that I got the reprieve I needed.

Above, WREATH, is my first pastel sketch on paper. And below

WREATH COLORS, is created on a 10" round wood circle.

The general proportions were sketched in with pastels, then a

water wash applied and an overlay of pastel ontop.

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

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.

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.
