SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

PINK + AQUA MORNING 6" x 6" pastel 10" square archival white mat * *no glass or frame $150 + $10 insured priority shipping - tax inclusive Quiet was the morn . . . while the sun slowly rose. The pastel colors intertwined . . . throughout the sky. All was reflected in the water . . . as I gazed from the shore.

LAKE MEAD 8"h x 16" wide pastel 12" x 20"  glass + gold frame   I have just returned from playing for two days with a dear friend. Sure spices up one's creativity, as well as so very exciting. And the trouble we got into!  I'm prepping up for two exhibitions the latter part of the year, so needed to get my game on. And the art is quite different from  my quaint, petite pastels. But that is another story,  which I will be posting about tomorrow.  For today, I have an older, yet favorite pastel from my travels  to Boulder Beach at Lake Mead. A wonderful National  Recreational Center with varied terrain of beaches to redrock. 

CHAIN OF PINK CLOUDS 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8"white archival matte, glass + gold leaf frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping You may be asking about now, where's the beach? Fair question. This setting is at Boulder Beach of the Lake Mead National Recreational Center. There is ring of mountains that back-drop the beach area, which is such a wonderful meld. They are a distance away, yet a wonderful contrast to the lake setting. This particular evening a heavy mass of clouds in the sky took on a strange hue. Immediately below and wedged above the mountains, were a chain of pink clouds that felt like they stretched for an infinite length. Strange colors and a strange formation - so interesting!

PURPLE SUNSET 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" white matte, glass + gold leaf frame PRIVATE COLLECTOR Bet you thought I would be traveling to Catalina Island again. Well today I'm off to Boulder Beach, which is part of the Lake Mead Recreation Area and the National Parks. I have been there several times and have thought it so peaceful and tranquil (unless there was a RV generator buzzing away next to your tent). Anyway, I got off track there. So Lake Mead actually spans between Nevada and Arizona, with the border running through the Lake. The recreation area covers 1.5 million acres of land. The area is so diverse for there are mountains, beaches and deserts. This sunset reflects a small portion of Boulder Beach - which is in Nevada - with a mountain backdrop. Our campsite faced out to the beach and watched as the sun dropped. A beautiful evening....
