“Sunset Study” 6” x 8” Oil $ 144 © Sharon Lewis
This is a study I painted on location while on the west coast a few weeks ago.
After a mostly cloudy day, just a little before sunset, the sun came out briefly and colored the sky and ocean shades of gold. It was a wonderful ending to a summer day on the coast.
Happy Weekend!

“Do They Ever Stop Eating?” 6 x 8.5 Pastel $144 © Sharon Lewis
I received a new pastel surface to try out (Canson MiTeintes - Velvet) at an arts conference this summer and I’ve been eager to paint on it. This surface is velvety soft (thus its name), holds lots of layers of pastel, and comes in different colors which I love. This painting was done on a warm tan color which is a great color to start with when you’re painting lots of greens. My only issue with the paper is it’s a little hard to blend colors; the benefit is trying to blend on this surface doesn’t destroy your fingers like blending on a sanded surface does.
Happy Weekend!

“Summer in the Mountains” 6 x 8 Oil $144 © Sharon Lewis
It was a beautiful summer night when I was lucky enough to have this view. The sun was setting beyond the mountains and flinging beautiful colors up into the sky. The clouds starting drifting lower until they started to hide the tops of the mountains. The air was rapidly cooling as the colors grew more intense and then gradually faded away.
Happy Weekend!
