A Brisk Wind

“A Brisk Wind”        5” x 7”          Pastel         $50         © Sharon Lewis

            I painted this scene on a very windy day in Maine. I had to weight my easel down with multiple large rocks to keep it from capsizing, but I loved every minute of it. The sun was shining and the wind was cool; I could hear the mother ducks below me moving their tiny chicks into the cove where they were warmed and sheltered from the wind. There were gulls flying above checking me out to see if I had something more edible than my sticks of pastel. It's all of this that I love when I paint outdoors.

            Happy Weekend!

            I’ll be heading to the beautiful southwestern part of the country next month for a great gathering of pastel artists. This is a wonderful opportunity for pastel artists scattered across the country and around the world to come together to take classes, workshops, and to paint and socialize with one another. It’s so wonderful to be able to talk to so many other people who share my passion to create art.

            This painting comes from photos I took in New Mexico several years ago at our last conference.

            Happy Weekend!

            On Orcas Island, which is part of the San Juan islands off the coast of Washington state, you can see beautiful views like this. You can also walk through old growth forest or hike up to Mount Constitution which gives you a spectacular view of the surrounding islands and waterways. There were cool breezes and sunny days…my ideal summer day.

Happy Weekend!
