2-challenge-2

Most of the artists have mentioned that they found themselves reaching for the same pastels for the same area in many of the pastels they did.  The idea really is to try everything, even if you don’t like the result, you now what those colors look like together….some were surprised at what they tried and liked.  So, I purposely went as far away from the original as I could get.   Ah, success…..it’s so bad, it’s almost hypnotic!    But, once again, it was definitely FUN!

    I know this process well, pushing the morphology of different styles for a piece over and over. SOmetimes it works, sometimes not. This one is very intense to my eye, but part of this process is to be able to look back over scores of these and see which ones worked, which didn’t and what you prefer as an artist. It may be that such intensity draws you in as you proceed. Very lush, thats for sure!

    A fantasy landscape! The colors are so pretty. It’s brave of you to try colors that are so opposite of what you would normally use. It was complete abandon and lots of fun obvioulsy.
