I have decided that I have at least two personalities when it comes to art. I think the second personality is called Suzy. Every once in awhile, I depart from my representational work and have to work an abstract piece. Here is my departure from representational pastel art. Click on the image to make it larger.

The first one is called “Faith” and I had a clear idea of a theme and design when I started it. The theme is clear from the title. Strong value contrast was used to lead your eye around the painting and a pop of red color brings you to the focal area. I call the second one “No Decision” because I just kept adding paper and acrylic media until I was happy with the look. The center of interest changed many times. I like the 3D nature of this piece.

Patricia Kellner is an artist that was in the Paul Murray workshop in Taos with me. She recently sent me a few photos of me painting en plein air with the group. I am using a great umbrella that she designed. Go to her web site at www.BestBrella.com for more information. The scenery near Taos is fantastic. Don’t you agree?

Be creative and enjoy.
