I did these in preparation for an arts and craft show in a park on the 19th. While this time the event was not a good one in terms of sales, I had a good time meeting people and talking with a few who showed interest in the medium.In Sunset II I was figuring out how far I could push some colors but still keeping the idea of the end of the day.
Sunset on the Moose
Sunset on the Moose was more of a search into color combination that started with the sky colors.Sunset on Seneca Lake--SOLD
Sunset on Seneca Lake was a study for a future version. The sailboat is the Mallabar X coming to shore.
All were done on Ampersand Pastelbord.

Little beauties! I like them all, Adriana. How do you like the Pastelbord? I have never used it.
Hi Donna, and thank you. I cannot believe you have never used the Ampersand pastelbord. All I can say is that it's different in texture from other sanded surfaces. Some of the things I like about it are:
1. you can wash off the pastel and start over again, as it dries fast (although the surface might retain some color) 2. you can frame without the need of a mat 3. it offers a strong support for painting and for backing when framing.
The one thing that annoys me sometimes is that it's hard to use on a easel simply because I have to move it around to paint the top and bottom edges.
I love these paintings. I bought an Ampersand Pastelbord a few months back and for some reason I never worked with it. I will definitely try it now. Again, well done!
Hilda, Thank you! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to your comment. I hope that by now you have tried the Ampersand board and liked it.
Skizo, Thank you for visiting. I really enjoyed seeing your creations!
