Onion Soup - Final
This is the completed painting of Onion Soup, finished in 31st December 2013! The reflections have been added, some details tweaked and a few more highlights added - the only white pastel used in the painting. (The reflections are a result of my use of black glass as a work table for my still life set-ups.) The finished work measures 16 x 12 ins or 40 x 30 cm and is painted on Clairefontaine's excellent Pastelmat.
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.
