"Early Mornign Dune"
When I am painting I am focused on my internal vision coming to life; and seeing it unfold can be exhilarating. For "Early Morning Dune" it began one morning in the dunes at Sandy Neck completing sketches, taking photos and doing a preliminary painting. Fast forward to a weekend when I was painting in my studio, and then I felt like the sparks began to fly! This is not to say that I wasn't challenged. The shadow on the dune caused me some grief, and that is when I set aside the photo. AHA, the shadow I wanted was part of my vision, not part of the photo image!
I am happy to share that "Early Morning Dune" has been selected for the 24th International Association of Pastel Societies Juried Exhibition. This prestigious exhibition will be held at the Vose Galleries in Boston, the oldest family owned art gallery in America.
On Saturday, May 10th from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. the public is invited to the opening festivities at Vose Galleries, 238 Newbury St., Boston, which will feature an afternoon of artist demonstrations and tours of the exhibition.
If you can't make the opening, please visit Vose Galleries between May 10 to June 21, 2014.
