pastel plein air landscape 5x7

Another view of Sunset Lake in Asbury Park< NJ. This one is 5x7.

This painting is of a familiar scene for those of us who went to school in Asbury Park, NJ. It is similar to an larger painting done on location at Sunset Lake, where we used to ice skate and sled down the hill.

The classmate who commissioned this 8x10 remembers falling through the ice. I remember skating, sledding and drinking hot chocolate. That brings back such warm memories.

I matted the painting in an off-white acid-free mat and black frame. I like it.

just fun

I love painting skies and water and I'm quite pleased with this little plein air painting. It's only 5x7 and fine as is, but could be matted and framed in 8x10 or 11x14 making it suitable for hanging. Or, use it as a note or greeting card and leave the receiver the task of framing!

This started out as a not so great oil. I embellished with pastel, a bit unorthodoxed, but, in my opinion, art is a feeling and should not have to conform to rules.

You may be relieved to know that it's no where near finished, but kind of interesting in a strange way.

Another oldie, "Haystacks," painted in Hart County, GA on our lovely farm. It is an 18x24 pastel painting on Canson mitients paper. Memories.

An old pastel that I painted during my old car days! The photo is an old one also and not clear, but I think you can see the general idea. The actual painting is much brighter and cheery looking. I'll have to take a new one with my new camera. Thought some of my car buff friends might like to see it.
