I plan to post current paintings on my blog site. I'm not much of a writer but I do love to paint. I do oils and pastels and I teach workshops. I plan to sometimes post demos and talk about how to create a painting as well.

Pastel Society of America
Happy to announce that "Winterscape" was accepted to the Pastel Society of America's National juried show in NYC
Now--what did I predict? A Grand Slam? Looks like it DID happen! You're in the PSA exhibit & in the Artist's Magazine finalists, too. Well done! I'm always intrigued by the images chosen by the various contests. This wonderful painting is quite different from the sunlit farm chosen by the other competition.
All your works are great, though. At this point in your career, do you ever have 'failed' attempts anymore? I suspect you're at the same place as the writer who was asked, "What do you do when a story just isn't working?" He replied: "I MAKE it work."
After awhile, it seems like that's every artist's job: make it work. If it isn't working, figure out why & then make it work. Eventually, it's a reflex action--I hope. Congratulations, Aline! L&K, MaryB
Beautiful!
