I think I'll stop now. Did some work on the doors, panels and knots; added some shadow; and refreshed the flowers on the table; repainted the lampshade; and "distressed" the wallpaper on the right. The photo was taken with a flash so it's a bit washed out, but it's been raining so hard in Cork today it's like being in Seattle, and there's no daylight to speak of.
This blog is a development from my pastel directory, www.artistsinpastel.com where pastel artists the world over were featured, until developments in social media made it redundant. This is where I post new paintings from time to time, with some notes on their genesis, and whatever else comes to mind.
I have been painting with pastels for over 25 years, and have learned from the very practical publications of artists like Alan Flattmann, Daniel E. Greene, and more recently Richard McKinley and Ellen Eagle.
The work of other artists who work in the medium is always of interest,, and I am happy to have met many of them, and to have interviewed some for the Pastel Journal.
Still Life is the subject matter that most interests me, and my pastels have been exhibited in Ireland, in France and in China.
