Meditative Moments...







Meditative Moments I...

Welcome to ArtStudIo_JB ArtNews - my new art blog.
"To work and to dare... is living."
Vincent to Theo van Gogh. (Letter #x.)

The sole purpose of this blog is to keep you, my art client/patron updated on my new images.

Having just completed my first pastel commission, I believe rather successfully, I have uploaded an image of 'Meditative Moments...'

" I consider making studies like sowing and making pictures like reaping." Vincent to Theo van Gogh. (Letter #233.)

'Meditative Moments...' specifics:
Based on my signature piece for the Tucson 2006 Open Studio Tour, 'Waterlilies', the client who purchased Waterlilies, later commission me for a larger piece.

'Meditative Moments...' was created in triptych on Wallis Belgium Mist and White paper, using the harder NuPastel as a base, Rembrandt semi-hard pastels for the initial and middle stages and Sennilier soft for the highlights.

The 3 images together measures 22" x 72" and is the most satisfying as well as challenging pastel I have yet created.

More, please, more! I love this type of challenge.
