Original Pastel Landscape Painting "Peace and Solitude" by Florida Impressionism Artist Annie St Martin

Peace and Solitude is a pastel done en plein air. Nesting close by the shelter was a sandhill crane with its flashy red head checking me out. She isn't in this pastel, she was just beyond the bird watch. What a lovely thing to watch, she had a home with quite a view!

This painting is SOLD, however prints are available HERE

Swirling background with vibrant colors and deep undertones.

The pair of Irises was found at the Dallas Arboretum, one of my favorite places to in Dallas.  I love the way the petals fell showing the various shades of purple.

Pastel Demonstration by Texas Artist Niki Gulley for the Mid Cities Art League

"Tuscan Dreams" ©2014  Niki Gulley
14" x 11" pastel

Inspired from one of our Art Treks to Tuscany, I chose to paint this cypress grove for my pastel demonstration for the Mid Cities Art League last week. First creating an underpainting in the complimentary reds and oranges, I then layered and cross hatched my pastels allowing some of the underneath layers to show through. The resulting image is loaded with uplifting color, energy and movement!

"Bear Creek Path" by Astrid Paustian

Pastel, 11" x 15", sold.
Thinking of summer walks and Plein Air painting. Will bring out the colorful pastel sticks for some quick, loose sketches. It is always a lot of fun.
I enjoy switching back and forth between mediums. It changes the approach and adds a fresh new perspective.
