Last week I demonstrated my techniques in painting with soft pastels. I just love working with this art medium. The facets on each teeny
tiny piece of pigment reflects light like no other medium as there is very little binder that surrounds the pigment. This also makes for almost no darkening of the color as the years go by.
There are pastel paintings today that are hundreds of years old whose colors are as vibrant as when the artwork was first painted. I titled this painting "Farmers Market Trio". This "study" is 11" x 14" and I am selling it unframed on my
etsy for $125.
Thanks you Peoria Fine Arts Association for asking me to be the speaker for your Nov. meeting. You have a lot of talented people and they were all so nice!
I watched the movie Food, Inc. last night. WOW! My family has been trying to eat more healthy lately and for me the statement "ignorance is bliss" (on the subject of eating) was the position I took for a long time. In the last year I have learned more and the statement "knowledge is power" is taking over. It's time for a change...for me personally and for the food industry.
Yeah for our son-in-law Preston who graduated from ASU. He was excepted into several law schools and chose BYU where He will start in the fall. We are also extremely proud of our daughter Devan who has supported him throughout his schooling. She will miss managing PrimaDivas but this move will be a great adventure for their family.
