"Tide Pooling" 12 x 16 pastel
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. Please check out my website at www.alineordman.com

CAFE IN CAMBRIDGE
This one was difficult! It wasn't that the figures were hard to do or define, it was that it was so incredibly boring. It's a discussion to be had among artists how you can do a painting well, "realistically" and all but it remains a total yawn. This was one such painting. So, I attacked it with a palette knife, took figures out, and tried to work thinking abstractly the whole time. Not sure I accomplished my goal but I do know it's better than it was
