Harriet and Boss
This is a 24x18" pastel portrait that I finished during July. This most engaging sweet child has the incredible good fortune of having a Mother who loves her just as she is. To order a pastel portrait.
I live a very simple life in the country. From that solitude, I can devote myself full time to the expression of my art. I find subject matter in the natural landscape around me which is constantly changing with the seasons and the light. Occasionally I express something from a dream or a visualization.
Within the art, I am exploring a rhythm of line and texture, soft blended passages contrasted with impasto brush strokes. I am guided to express a calligraphic dance that is not only interesting visually, but is fun to do.
