I thought I would do another process entry….what the heck? The show is only 9 (or is it 8?) days away. I don’t mean to complain (just explain), but I have a terrible time with migraines and the past few days have been “no work” days. Not that I consider painting work….perhaps I should call them “no artwork” days. The winds let up a little this evening, so I jumped into a new painting. I’ve seen so many paintings of birches that I’m just making this up as I go along. It seems to me that in the past several years all artists have to complete a painting of birches, a painting of a pear or pears and and an empty row boat at a dock. My first impulse has been….”no way!”, but that’s just my Irish speaking. I may not have one of each for the show, but I will at least have the birches. These are done in pastel, as you can see, and I decided to use a warm rusty pastel paper. Eventual size will be 8 X 10.
I expect to finish tomorrow (maybe I can outfox the winds and start early, what do you think?) at which time I’ll post more of the process.
Enjoy….and remember, all comments are more than welcome!

I love progress images, as you know. ESPECIALLY with pastels and watercolors, as each has a pretty interesting method of layering….
This is exquisite. I love the colors, the placement, everything. Eager to see the rest.
