SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

 Desert Pastel 5" x 5" pastel on wood panel Above, Desert Pastel , is the first piece of art and only pastel that I created while at the Farm. It was Saturday, February 13th at 6 am, with the chilled winds moving  with alarming speed throughout the sky.   The afternoon of the day prior, I drove up to the  Desert Dairy Farm  with my sculpture strapped onto the  front and back seats. Curiosity and anticipation of  what was in store for me with this residency. Anna Stump, co-founder of the Desert Dairy Farm gave me a grand tour of the facilities and grounds.  Below is a front view of the barn, where I spent much time during the day.

ONE LILY  4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel on wood glass + gold frame $65 + tax (shipping inclusive) I've been going outside to paint weekly to combat the COVID-19  blues. ONE LILY was created at Shady Lakes in Albuquerque that  is stocked with waterlilies everywhere! And throw in some bull  frogs and turtles in the mix. Really a peaceful time.  Pictured below is my blocking-in sketch and the pieced finished  with its frame.
