Pastel
I have been thinking for a while that I would like to deviate more from reality. In other words, a more impressionistic approach. Pastels lend themselves to making 'colored drawings' and I am choosing to head in that direction. It is my belief that this type of art meets the viewer halfway and even requires the viewer's participation. I painted this interior of my kitchen from memory in my studio and truly enjoyed the experience. Also, I think art that doesn't spell everything out has more life and expression. So, I will be traveling this road to develop my style further.
The weekly Open Studio sessions with a model are always of great value and for the moment I will probably continue a more realistic approach to the figure (maybe until I understand how to go impressionistic in that area).
