PURPLE + YELLOW TREE 8" x 8" soft pastel on sanded paper 12" white mat, glass + black frame $275 - tax + shipping inclusive With the new year, I'm off to a fresh start! I've been absent much on my blog, for life has thrown so many twists on the day-to-day events. But I've missed all, so this year I'll be more present. Above, PURPLE + YELLOW TREE is a pastel I've created for my upcoming class at the New Mexico Art League that begins this Friday, the 6th. PURPLE + YELLOW TREE is a sample of utilizing bright complimentary colors in a scene. Below, is an image of the 2 pastels I've created with one using subtle complimentary colors and the same scene with bright colors and a more graphic approach. And the scene is from the Desert Dairy Farm's oasis where I was so fortunate to have a residency in 2021+ 2022! Love that place!
