    Oil pastels are too fun

  3. My two pieces from the past 24 hours. A small plein air watercolor, and a 9x12 inches on pastel soft pastel sketch, both of Spring Lake in Santa Rosa, California. #art #pleinair #watercolor #pastel #sketch #landscape #artist

  4. By Winold Reiss (1886–1953), Girl with Blanket, 1925., pastel and Conté crayon on illustration board. Private Collection. #arthistory #art #pastel #portrait #portraits

    From Joanne B. Mulcahy, “The German Modernist Who Painted a Multicultural United States,” Hyperallergic, August 25, 2022: ‘Reiss’s political commitment to ethnic diversity and portrayals of people of color also marginalized him among historians creating the modern art canon. Where does an artist who crossed boundaries fit in?

    … The public selectively embraced Reiss’s portraits of people of color. While a 1920 show of his Blackfeet images sold out, no New York gallery would exhibit his Harlem portraits, his son Tjark lamented. That did not deter Reiss from his lifelong commitment to the diversity of people.”

  5. "Streak of Sunlight" by Janet Dyer draws a bright line across a green slope toward a small white house held in the trees.

    This piece reads like a short note from a summer morning. It says, "Hey you! Let's have coffee!"

    The slanted road gives everything a gentle push forward, inviting you to imagine the next turn.

  6. Trees whisper under a pastel sky in Janet Dyer’s "Dancing Light in the Orchard Sun," colors moving in a playful dialogue between nature and hue.

    Pastels invite a calm wandering, warm ribbons of light threading through cool greens and lavender bands. Rows and accents help the eye travel.

  7. People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.
