A Sky + Abstract by Susan Roden

ORANGE BEAUTY 2                     2 LEAVES
6" x 6"                                        7" x 7"

Thinking in two realms, yet there's is still a 
commonality between these two pastels.

Orange Beauty 2 is a simplified sunset with use 
of bold colors. The medium is applied in an 
extensive layered patterning.

The representational abstract, 2 Leaves, again
uses the same bold colors, yet with a different 
execution. A wash is applied to the primary base 
and then colors applied in a layered fashion. 

Funny how I have to really focus when changing 
genres.

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!

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.
