INTENSITY

Inspired by an art show I saw in Aspen, I wanted to try my hand at abstraction, but loving the portrait as much as I do, I knew that it would have to be incorporated somehow, so with soft pastels and wallis paper, I went about creating what I consider a marriage between realism and abstraction. The process was quite exhilarating.

"REFLECTIONS"
Pastel
9" x 12"
SOLD

Painted on Wallis paper using soft pastels. I don't usually do landscapes but when I saw this beautiful young model in the water with the colorful reflections, I knew that I would paint her. Once again, I did not blend the colors, but rather, allowed the application of multiple lawyers to create that affect.
