Plein Air Newsletter article

I am honored to be in this article from Plein Air Magazine's on line newsletter.  The author interviewed me and while I thought I did a lot of babbling, he wrote an incredibly coherent article!

Pastels Today

Winery Cafe

These two 9 x 12 pastels are from today's efforts in the studio.  I had started the Winery Cafe in oil but decided to try it in pastel.  Worked for a few hours, then decided to do the portrait and it went very quickly.

Hillside and a fix

Hillside  6 x 9 oil on board






This version of the vineyard didn't work.  Although the colors at the shady bottom were green, in keeping them that way there was no connection between the yellow field of vines and the shadowed lower part.  So I changed them to more ochre so that it related.
